What do you think of the 300/5.6 ?

Rob,
Motor drive on PZ-1 is slower, 2 fps vs 3+ for the PZ-1p.
No annoying Panorama frame lines in PZ-1 viewfinder, no Panorama at all !
Some functions get buried in the PF options on the PZ-1.
It seems like they brought some out of hiding on the PZ-1p.
Spot metering with old M & K lenses works on
I just bought a clip on meter for my H3v. It's in nice condition, not as
nice as yours of course, but it looks good. I was surprised at how well
it works.

And 35mm coverage of the flash on the PZ-1, the PZ-1p has 28mm coverage.
The exposure correction for flash is way nicher/easier on the 1p. (I have the

Hi,
thanks to all who responded to my query on the Z-70/PZ-70 cameras!
It seems that the Z-70 does not have a panorama switch, but the PZ-70
does. Neither Z-70p nor PZ-70p seem to exist.

Those that have a manual for either of the above cameras, please check

Hi,
it seems that the some PZ-?? bodies have the panorama switch but not the
small "p" at the end of the designation. Is the PZ-20 one of them?

Hi,
Has anyone ever seen a Z-20p or a Z-70p camera in existance? I know

Thanks in advance,

Joe,
Actually, I think the winder speed is closer to 2.5 fps for the PZ-1. It
just isn't particularly faster than a winder. The PZ-1p is closer to 4 fps
(very similar to the 3.5 fps of a Motor Drive A for a Super Program). It is
not as fast as the 4+ of an LX Motor Drive. I think Boz oversta

Hi, Bob. They're the T-mount lenses
Can't say what the manual says for the PZ-1, but if you have the camera, try
it. You will not get spot metering with any of the K or M lenses. That's
how mine has worked since the first day (although it took me a long time to
know this!).

Awesome photos. I really enjoy your photos from Washington and Oregon. My

A spot meter works fine for either BW or color photography, but you have

The manual tells you that. Spot only works with lenses that have the
appropriate electrical contacts. K and M lenses can be made to perform
as an A or FA for metering purposes - I think Mark Roberts has the info
on his web site?

It depends on whether you like or need the extra warmth. Alternatives
are to use a warmer film, or add warmth to your liking in a photo
