Sorry, no front cap. I lost it and never see a need to replace it as the hood protects the lens well enough.

Hi, I'm interested in buying but a little concerned about the missing locking lug.
Are the 2 locking lugs strong enough to hold the battery in place?
Does this affect the performance of the flash at all?

Wow the 85 mm 1.4 HSM is especially tempting. I hope it's under $600. But I doubt it will be.

I've been having trouble (and fun sometime) with WB too. And for that reason, shooting film is just great. You dont have to worry about WB or ISO because once you loaded the film, there is nothing you can do, so just shoot :))

I'm using a Sigma 30/1.4 and finding it incredible. Very sharp and contrasty. Suit perfectly for full lenght portraits. This might be an option.
I'm not sure if the FA31mm is better or worst than this lens. The Sigma 30/1.4 is not as popular than I think it should be. I don't hear much feedback from this lens at all.

Thanks for sharing the technique. I've been having a lot of difficulties with MF too. I've been using M42 50/1.4 so I can imagine how hard it is to use 50/1.2.
I'm using K10D, not sure if it has Catch-in-Focus?

I would normally go out with my zoom lens and Sigma 30/1.4 and FA 43/1.9. These lenses cover all I need and I don't shoot tele.

Thanks Nick. It's a relief to hear what you said. I'm kind of obsessed about the ZP-1P already for some reason. I haven't tried the MZ50 yet but I'm feeling like the ZP-1P will be in mine next month. Such a bad habit... I know.

I would imagine M42 can be used on Mz-50 with a K mount adapter. Is this correct?

wow, great advice. I will look for one. Since I have a lot of M42 lens laying around, I will definitely need the split focus screen

I quickly searched on ebay for MZs model and Zp-1p model and was surprised by the price of MZs. It's not cheaper than DSLR at all and some are actually more expensive than my K10 at current market price.
ZP-1p is rarely available, only 1 auction in the UK, so I don't know its price range.
Anyway, I found a great deal on a MZ50 with an ordinary sigma zoom lens for AUD50 and I thought I can't delay any longer. So it's sold and I'm waiting for my new toy to come home.
In the mean time, will keep an eye out for any ZP-1p on the market.

Wow, thank you all for your great responds. This is totally unexpected. I would like to especially thank KungPOW, Nesster and monochrome for your comprehensive responds.
I have now made up half of my mind. I think I should stick to AF models especially because they are quite cheap to trash and buy another if something go wrong. PZ and MZ series seem to be the most popularly recommended. I've actually own 1 PZ10 and 1 MZ10 (all very good copies) before I think about shooting film so sadly, I sold them all .
However, I did a search on ebay and the MZ series (MZ10-20-50) is largely available at very cheap prices. I wonder if these MZ10 or MZ50 are good cameras or only the MZs that is especially good and stand out from others?
Same story for the PZ series, is it only the PZ1p that is worth buying?
I would think that PZ10 ro PZ 20 and MZ10 or MZ20 are respectively belong to the PZ and MZ series. And the bigger the number is the later the model is. Is it advisory to choose the oldest version? Seem like the PZ1P is most preferred in the PZ series, and so is the MZs in MZ series.
Once again, thank you all.

When you said clours are correct, did you mean colour from RAW files?
I'm using Lightroom at the moment, I used to have trouble ready RAW files from LT. It just changes your original colour which annoy me incredibily. I later found some prefixes which improve the situation but still not able to show me the true colour which I see from Pentax Browser Software.
Did you find SP is much better in this sense?
Cheers,

Hi all,
After a year shooting digital with a K10. I'm seriously thinking about shooting film a long with digital but don't know enough about all film camera models and which one to choose.
I'm definitely will go with a K mount model so ME, K1000 or P30T are on the list. There are many more models but again I can't quite tell the difference and most of all which one is better?
I would dearly love to have a auto focus model like the *ist (any other?) but still worry that these won't last for too long and will be costly to fix. I've also read from somewhere that the colour produced by the newer camera won't be as "vintage". I haven't seen enough film photo to figure out what this vintage colour look like and still not sure if this is only a myth.
So an old mechanical model seems to be a better choice as it will last a lot longer, produce better colors, and save myself from battery cost (I'll just have to keep up with MF). But which model? Or any model will do? Are they that much different? With film camera, (correct me if i'm wrong) you don't have to deal with iso setting, white balance, sensor and resolution.... all you need is something to load film up, get it exposed to light through a lens :) and there come the pictures :)). I'm just being sarcastic because I don't know much about film camera. Please enlight me.
Some film cameras offer shooting in Av, Tv which is great, I really need them. I also want to use my FA lenses so is compatability a problem? Can I use them on a ME?
It would be great to know what everyone would prefer to use and why.
