Pros: Attractive retro design. 3 exposure metering modes and full PASM. Autofocus. Pentaprism viewfinder.

Cons: There are cases of breakage of the mirror mechanism.

Opinion: In full Pentax style, a very compact camera and one of the few, perhaps the only one in each product segment, to be equipped with a pentaprism viewfinder and not a pentaprism viewfinder. Very responsive and beautifully cushioned snap. It is not true that it is built entirely of plastic! The frame containing the shutter-mirror assembly is metallic and in any case the plastic materials used are of excellent quality that can be perceived well with the grip. In fact, the car, although compact, is not exactly light. Recently used with a negative... Flawless operation!

Pros: Comprehensive in all functions and classic appearance easy to use. The classic dials and selection levers are very comfortable and simple and intuitive to use. Equipped with all the most advanced functions for the time, including the very useful catch in focus.

Cons: Unfortunately, it is affected by the 90s fashion of all-plastic cameras, not only externally. Because of this, it often happens that the mirror return mechanism breaks and the camera becomes unusable. It's a real shame because otherwise the camera is very complete and immediate.

Opinion: The MZ series is not ideal for those who want to use an analog camera for a long time and with satisfaction. The all-plastic construction comes at the expense of strength and durability. Yet these cameras weren't that cheap. Too bad, it's na more accurate construction would have produced exceptional cameras. If you want to use an MZ series camera, you have to turn to the MZs, this is a robust and reliable camera. The price is also quite "robust", even in used cars.
