Friday Flashback. Wedding Photography outfit.
I did wedding photography for many years. I started with film and then
transitioned to Digital. I am now no longer doing weddings but
occasionally get asked. Before auto focus and digital my cameras were
mainly Pentax. Pentax 35mm and Pentax 645.The Pentax Super A was my
favourite from those days and coupled with a Metz Flash and Quantum
battery pack I was ready for anything.

Cameras I have owned or would like to.
The Pentax MZs.
The MZs is really the last flagship of professional 35mm film cameras by Pentax before all went digital.
Before the MZs the Pentax Z1 and also the LX were classed as professional 35mm film slr.
I used the the Pentax Super A(Pentax Super Program in USA) for some years in wedding photography and in my opinion it could have been classed as a pro camera also.
It was a 35mm version on the Medium Format Pentax 645 which was a professional camera.
In the last couple of years as a wedding photographer, before I went digital, I was using the MZs on weddings.
A very capable and still sought after film camera.
Below is how Australian Camera reported on it at first testing in July 2001.
I was looking at a second hand Nikon F5 recently and the shop salesman said he preferred the MZs to the Nikon.
He also owned an MZs.
If you can find one on the second hand market a great camera to use and own.
A feature is that it does imprint settings info about each frame on the negatives.
