The Pentax Mz-6\u00a0may not be a tank of a camera like a Nikon F5\u00a0or the Pentax MZ-s from the same era but it offers all the necessary controls for any type of image making.\u00a0 It’s lightweight and compact meaning that the addition of the battery grip doesn’t turn it into a monster but rather allows the use of readily available AA batteries.\u00a0 Previously the Pentax Z1-p\u00a0was my camera of choice for making 35mm film images but the MZ-6 has better usability and is closer in operation to the DSLR\u00a0I use.\u00a0\u00a0A nice feature of this camera is its full compatibility with all\u00a0K-mount lenses even ones without aperture rings. That matters when you try to use a lens such as the DFA100\u00a0Macro WR a lens without\u00a0a physical ring for\u00a0aperture control.\u00a0 It also allows the use of older manual aperture control lenses transferring\u00a0the setting to the camera with a physical linkage something that is missing from the DSLRs.<\/p>\n
