Pentax MZ 5n SLR 35mm Film Camera/Lens

Pre-owned Vintage Pentax MZ 5n SLR 35mm Film Camera with a Pentax SMC Pentax-FA 28-70mm F/4 - SMC-FA 4.0/28-70 Zoom Lens. The Pentax MZ-5N/ZX-5N SLR introduced in 1997 replaced the MX-5/ZX-5 from the year before. This new model kept the classic control layout with a shutter speed dial, an exposure compensation dial, levers for metering pattern and drive modes. The aperture was set with the aperture ring on the lens. A couple of important features were added, namely auto-bracketing, exposure lock and depth of field preview.Extra flash functions with an external flash: Contrast control. Due to its excellent handling, depth-of-field preview, spot metering, and compatibility with most K-mount lenses it appeals to both beginners and enthusiasts Key Features and Performance Controls: The camera features physical dials for shutter speed, aperture, and shooting modes, mimicking manual cameras of the 1970s. Autofocus & Metering: It uses a 3-sensor autofocus system and 6-field metering, which are generally accurate, along with center-weighted and spot metering options. Build: While compact and lightweight (approx. 380g) with a metal mount, the body is mostly plastic. Functions: Includes a built-in flash, motor-driven film advance/rewind, and an optional panoramic mode, though this is a cropped frame. Advanced features like Av/Tv/M and matrix/average/spot-metering. The Pentax MZ-5n is one of those few camera bodies that can almost do it all; Light weight, full option controls (Program, Av, Tv, Manual), auto-bracketing, exposure comp dial, choice of multiple metering modes with exposure lock, good support for autofocus and manual glass so just about all k-mount lenses are fair game, depth of field preview, built in auto winder, built in flash, good viewfinder. The camera/lens is fully operational and in very good condition. Also includes the original operating manual and case
