Hi,
I am planning to buy a Pentax autofocus camera and do not want to spend too much.I found a MZ-30 which is quite cheap and found a MZ-7 in mint condition.
I cannot decide on which one to choose.I checked on google a bit and it says MZ-30 is a newer one but I think MZ-7 can support old lenses too.It is said that MZ-30 doesn't.
Could you please give me an idea and which one should I choose?
Any help& input will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Take a look here:

Pentax Autofocus Film SLRs - Pentax Pentax Film Cameras - Pentax Camera Reviews and Specifications

That should give you an idea of which is the better camera.

I have the ZX-7 I love it You can also go to pentax web site and down load the owners book. It covers both the 30 and the 7 The thing I noticed is all the times the manual says the 30 will not allow this. I would go for the 7. The 30 will not operate with out an A setting in the lens The 7 will
