WANTED: Pentax MZ-6 / ZX-L Body.

Hello all,

Just wonder if anyone has one in Mint or Near Mint condition for sale? Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
D

Any interest in an MZ-5N (a very nice film body but have gone digital!)with only a very slight scuff on the pentaprism housing and mint elsewhere?

Hi jeallen01, thanks for the offer but already have one!
It's a great camera and IMO better than an MZ-6/7 but I am looking for a compact body that can control aperture from the body so I can use my DA lenses properly!

Cheers,
D

In that case - and its a long time since I used my MZ-5N! - if the lens aperture ring is set to the A position, does the body not do that when it is set to one or more of the automated modes?

This is true. Lenses without aperture rings such as the FA-J and DA lenses (Or if the lens is set to the "A" position) can be used on the MZ-5N body but with some restrictions - The aperture can only be set passively in Programmed or Shutter Priority mode as there is no way to specify the aperture directly on the body. I believe this is also true for all of the Pentax film bodies with Programmed modes apart from the Z-1, Z-1p, MZ-6, MZ-7, MZ-10, MZ-30, MZ-50, MZ-60 and the *ist (Do correct me if I am wrong! ).
