I used the MZ-5 for a 70th Birthday on Saturday and will collect the prints today... I used it with my professional METZ 45CL3 in the hot shoe with the Pentax module for TTL flash.

Soft Toys with the flash indoors at 90mm

A wooden garden thingy with daylight and flash at 90mm

No flash in the kitchen with the 'Macro' setting

same object WITH the flash on

Some of my Daughter's BLING in her bedroom -- too close with the 'Macro'and it is out of focus ( she was at school so didn't know !)

There is a 'MODE' setting where you can set the flash to fire all the time so it can be used in brighter light outdoors for fill-in and I have found it does 'balance'the ambient light with the flash well. I found when I pressed the 'MACRO'button the lens zoomed out to 90mm BUT you have to guess the right distance or photos are out of focus ! It is not really a 'Macro' setting, just 'Close-Focus'.
When the film auto re-winds you must watch the numbers counting down and unlatch the film door as it reaches '0' or the film is wound right into the cassette.
