Originally posted by BetterSense Well, I'm still wondering if the Pentax AF bodies provide an electronic focus verification when used with MF lenses, which I have plenty of. My F4 has a conspicuous green LED that lights up when focus is achieved. I have a Program Plus, ME, and ME Super already. My wife is too blind to manually focus but perhaps she could limp along with an electronic focus indicator and MF lens until I can afford a AF lens.
Are AF primes rare or something? All I seem to find in Pentax AF lenses are slow zooms.
The MZ-3 does for sure. That's the only one I can verify personally. The primes are not rare. It depends on which ones you are looking for. Have you looked in the Market Place? Many show up there.
Edit: The MZ-3 and MZ-5n have the largest viewfinder among the Pentax AF film bodies.
