Like the second one best.

The power contacts are usually visible inside the lens mount. The MZ-6 has them, but not the MZ-7. The power connections can be seen in this shot of a MZ-10
If your considering power zoom lenses to go with a MZ body then check out the 'FG' battery grip as well. It lets you use AA batteries!
You beat me to it John!

I've recently acquired a MZ-6 from SRS and am impressed with the control options, everything from idiot proof to full manual can be set.
The thing to remember is that the lower range (MZ-30/50/60) won't work with the older 'M' series lenses, but will work with 'A' series as manual focus only.

Enjoy the camera selectcase. I have a cheap silver oxide cell in my SP which seems to work fine. The beauty of modern film is, when using ASA400 stuff, that it isn't too fussy about bang on exposure, so good results are easier to get.

It helps to get to know a body when you can just pick up a paper copy!
I'm currently trying to figure out how to use a new(to me) MZ-6. Every time I hit a snag I have to wander over to the computer, find the PDF on my hard drive and try and locate the section needed.
I'd print a copy off, but at so many pages! after all I am a Yorkshireman!

What amazes me is the price of MZ-60s.
They're not that special but sell for more than the MZ-6!!!
What's going on there?
