Pentax MZ-50 (ZX-50) 35mm Film SLR Camera with 35-80mm Autofocus lens – in very fine condition – untested
The MZ-50 is a 35mm SLR with autofocus, and was introduced by Pentax approx. 20 years ago. It uses KAF lenses and is also known as the ZX-50 in some parts of the world.
The camera has several exposure modes. Settings are displayed in an LCD display next to the shutter release button, and selected using a mode dial on the left hand side of the top plate, and a lever-switch (in the collar of the the release button) to navigate the menu in the display.
Pentax KAF2 and KAF lenses are recommended for the camera. KA-mount lenses will allow autofocus with an AF coupler. K-mount lenses will fit, but the camera will not stop down the diaphragm; the maximum aperture will always be used.
The shutter is a vertical-travel focal plane shutter, which gives speeds from 1/2000 second to 30 seconds (steplessly variable when in the aperture AE or programmed modes), plus ‘B’ in manual exposure.
There is a built-in folding flash (Guide Number 11 in metres at ISO 100, but controlled automatically with several synchronisation modes). There is also a hot shoe, which couples with some dedicated Pentax flashes. There is a built-in film winder, which gives approximately two frames per second in consecutive mode, and automatic film rewind. The film can be rewound mid-roll.
This camera comes with an excellent SMC Pentax-F 35-80mm f4-5.6 lens and strap and lens cover
