Difference btwn Mz5 and MZ50?

howieb101 · 07-19-2009, 02:41 PM

Hi.

I've just bought both these cameras 2nd hand and would like to know which is the higher spec camera? I am basically a DSLR person and got the cameras for the lenses. However, I do have a true wide angle lens I would like to use on a film camera.

Thanks in advance.

MZ-5 is higher spec. More info here: Pentax MZ/ZX-Series Film Bodies

MZ-5n is even better.

Thanks for the info. By the way, one of the film cameras manuals was in German, so not so helpful.

Looking forward to testing out one of the cameras.

Cheers,

HowieB
