oniko's Review of Pentax MZ-M 35mm SLR camera
17th Sep 2003
Overall Rating
- Value for money
this is a modern camera with modern features such as metering and viewfinder display based on the pentax mz series. its cheap, but not nasty.
Bad Points
it is very light, has no built in flash and the viewfinder is a mirror not a glass prism, so that the finder is not as bright as it could be.more expensive lithum batteries to run it.
General Comments
The Pentax MZ-M is the replacement camera for the p30 t series. it will take most of the k mount bayonet series using stop down metering. it will also meter correctly with the ka bayonet series and the autofocus range of lenses at full aperture.
it is a small camera which makes it slight hard with people with largish hands to use. and as the viewfinder is a mirror system rather than a big hunk of glass as in a prism. it can be hard to use in low light.
it doesn't have ttl flash metering, but a reasonable motordrive.a built in flash would of been nice, as would being able to read the av and tv exposure readings on the lcd on top of the camera.
but it has all the modes that a good manual camera should have as well as a dept of field preview. over a good beginners camera as well a user or back up to the mz-5n and such like.
On average, people found this review very helpful
