TTL is done through off-the-film metering, albeit as a separate
system from the Z-1p (and the Z1, SF1/SF1n, Super Program) camera's
regular light metering system. The LX is the only Pentax camera to

IMHO the advances in TTL metering are attempts to become as good as quality
hand-held meters. It's also MHO that multi segment metering calculates an
xposure that is correct most of the time but not every time, and the

The 2450,and i assume the 3200, have plastic holders for 35mm,120,mounted slides
My new 3200 is used with a PC with 800Mz processor, 382Mb RAM and USB 2.0.
I just scanned a 6x6 tranny at 3200 and the times were; 2:31 for scanning,
