Pentax Z-1p and images
The Pentax Z-1p is a very ergonomic camera with a shape that presages the modern DSLR. The handgrip allows easy one hand carrying with great indentations for the thumb and fingers. The front and real dials are right at the perfect spot for access, in fact I prefer the front dial/shutter arrangement to that of the Pentax K-7, K-5, K-5II form factor. On the Z-1p the dial is behind the shutter which is at the most natural location for the index finger tip. There are a lot of settings that can be configured as well but without the menu system of a digital camera it’s sometimes harder to sort out. Many drive modes including up to 9 multiple exposures are available as well as bracketing from 0.3 to 4.0 stops. Exposure compensation and spot metering are also at a buttons press. All in all this is my favourite SLR. Other posts and images about this camera can be found here and here on my blog
