Manual Focus 35mm SLR Camera

Like its sister models in the popular ZX-series, the ZX-M offers
super-compact dimensions and straightforward, easy to read dial
controls; but focus is totally manual. It incorporates an array of creative
and user-friendly features, including a multi-mode exposure system;
an advanced light metering system; and a 1/2000-second high-speed
shutter. For convenience, it offers easy film handling, LCD and
viewfinder displays, depth-of-field preview and a Memory Lock
function. As a result, this is the model for the next generation of
photographers as well as those who want to learn the basic skills
through creativity and fun. The ZX-M helps teach photography in a
simple and easy way. It is also very lightweight, so just about anybody
can take it just about anywhere. Accepts all A, FA, and F-mount lenses.

Compact, Lightweight Body

The ZX-M measures just 135mm (5.3˝) wide,

90.5mm (3.6˝) high and 55mm (2.2˝) deep,
and weighs only 305 grams (10.8 oz.), making
it compact enough for the user to bring along
on every occasion.

Multi-Mode

Exposure System

The ZX-M offers four different exposure
modes: the hands-off Programmed AE, the
depth-oriented Aperture-Priority AE, the
action oriented Shutter-Priority AE, and the
totally maneuverable Metered Manual. The
selection of an exposure mode is made simply
by adjusting the lens aperture ring and/or the
camera’s shutter dial.

Multi-Pattern

Metering System

The ZX-M multi-pattern metering system is
designed to get the maximum performance
from the camera’s auto-exposure modes –
even in difficult backlighting and high­contrast situations.

Manual ISO Film Setting

Film speed can be manually adjusted between
ISO 6 and ISO 6400 in 1/3 steps, so that the
photographer can set the right film speed for
non-DX coded film or intentionally shift the
exposure level on an entire roll of film.

Exposure Compensation

With a simple turn of the exposure compen­sation dial, this function allows the user to
adjust the level of exposure within a ±3EV
range in 1/2EV steps for bracketing or for
intentional over - or underexposure.

Memory Lock

This function allows the user to ensure
correct exposure on a single element in the
final image by memorizing the exposure
data for 10 seconds with simple push-button
operation.

LCD and

Viewfinder Display

The external LCD panel and viewfinder
display offer a range of useful photographic
data to the photographer at a glance. The
viewfinder also features a Pentax original
Natural-Bright-Matte focusing screen for a
sharp, clear viewfinder image and an
automatic illuminator for easy reading of data
regardless of the subject’s lighting
condition.

Easy Film Handling

The built-in film winder loads the film,
advances it to the first frame, winds it at
the speed of two frames per second, and
rewinds the film at the end of the roll – all
automatically.

High-Speed Shutter

With a top shutter speed of 1/2000 second,
the ZX-M can freeze a critical moment in the
subject’s movement. Such high shutter
speeds are very useful in sports and action
photography.

Depth-of-field

Preview

One push of the preview button allows the
user to check the depth of focus to create the
desired visual effect, even when the lens
aperture ring is set to the “A” (auto) position.

Self-Timer

The built-in self-timer delays shutter release
by 12 seconds, allowing the photographer to
be part of the picture. This is also useful for
avoiding camera shake in slow-shutter and
bulb applications.

Compatibility

with Pentax Lenses

and Accessories

Most existing high-quality Pentax 35mm
interchangeable lenses and a wider range of
optional accessories can be used with the
ZX-M to satisfy the photographer’s every
creative need. (Note that autofocus operation
is not available with the ZX-M even when a
Pentax-FA lens is mounted.)

Flash System

◆ Built-in multi-

function retractable
auto flash with auto
pop-up feature.
Covering an angle
of view as wide as
28mm, the auto
flash automatically pops up and discharges
when the camera detects low-light and/or
backlight situations. It also retracts to the
storage position automatically when the
power is off. Employs red-eye reduction
function as well.

◆ Advanced TTL flash control system simpli-

fies complicated flash techniques (such as
daylight sync, slow-shutter sync and bulb
sync) even when used in combination with
accessory flashes. When combined with the
AF360FGZ, the *ist offers a variety of
advanced wireless remote functions. In
addition, it briefly discharges in the dark to
assist the camera’s AF system.

High Speed Shutter

◆ The compact, reliable shutter unit offers a

top shutter speed of 1/4000 second to
freeze the decisive moment of fast-action
scenes and features a high flash
synchronization speed of 1/125 second, so
photographers may open up the aperture
to capture dramatic flash images.

FEATURES

Ultra Compact

◆ Ultra-compact with a functional design, the

*ist Date measures 4.8 x 3.3 x 2.5˝ and
weighs 11.8 oz. All controls are positioned
for easy operation and accessibility.

Sophisticated Auto Focus

◆ An advanced SAFOX VIII phase-matching

AF system assures that the *ist delivers crisp
focus even under poor lighting conditions.

◆ An 11-point AF sensor constantly monitors

11 different points in the image field and
covers a wide area — both vertically and
horizontally — to ensure optimum focus.

◆ In addition to the “AUTO” mode where the

camera selects the optimum focusing
point and “SPOT” mode, you can select
one of 11 AF sensor points using the cross­shaped AF point selector on the back panel.

◆

Predictive Auto Focus function automatically
activates when the system detects subject
motion and predicts the subject position at
the moment of shutter release. This also
lets you shoot a few frames after the subject
has moved out of the AF sensor field.

Three Metering System

◆ A 16-segment multi-pattern metering sys-

tem helps solve the most complicated light­ing conditions to produce beautifully
exposed photographs. In addition to an all­purpose multi-pattern mode, the *ist offers
spot and center-weighted modes for special­ized applications.

Auto Picture Mode

◆ In Auto Picture Mode, the *ist Date selects

the appropriate auto-exposure mode from
five different programs, based on the sub­ject’s distance,focal length, lighting and sub­ject motion. This ensures better results and
allows you to concentrate fully on shutter
opportunity and picture-framing.

High Performance

◆ The high-speed motor drive winds the film

at a speed of 2.5 frames per second. You can
select either single-frame advance or
consecutive advance with simple push­button operation. It also simplifies film
loading and rewinding operations.

◆ Auto exposure bracketing lets you get the

right exposure. With a single shutter release,
you can capture three different exposures of
the same subject (in order of proper expo­sure, under-exposure and over-exposure) in
all exposure modes (except Bulb mode).
The desired compensation value (±0.3EV,
±0.5EV or ±1.0EV) can be selected using
one of the custom functions. The use of
auto bracketing as well as the selected
compensation value are indicated in both
the LCD panel and the viewfinder display.

◆ Handy wireless remote control. In combina-

tion with the optional Remote Control F,
the *ist Date offers the convenience of
remote shutter release from a distance. The
user can select either an instant release or a
three-second-delay release using one of the
custom functions. The operation is con­firmed by the self-timer indicator on the
camera’s front panel.

◆ Creative multi-exposure—photographers

can make two exposures on a single frame
with pushbutton ease to produce dramatic,
eye-catching images. To expose the same
frame more than three times, you simply
repeat this operation after each exposure.

◆ Easy-setting exposure compensation and AE

lock. Using the exposure compensation
button and the select dial, the photographer
can easily set the desired compensation
value within a range of ±3EV in 1/2EV
increments (except when the metered
manual mode is selected). Positioned at the
upper right-hand corner of the back panel,
the AE lock button makes the camera
memorize the measured exposure value for
approximately 20 seconds, during which
period the photographer is free to
re-compose the image.

◆ Durable metallic lens mount to hold the

lens firmly in place and minimize wear
caused by countless lens changes.

◆ Data recording capability allows users to

automatically record the date, or day and
time, of picture-taking on the photograph
for quick, easy reference of captured images.

STANDARD LENSES

SMCP-FA 43mm f/1.9 Limited Edition

(PE4319FA)

In the 35mm format the ideal definition of a “standard” lens is 43mm, the distance from the

FILTERS: The purpose of any filter - colored, UV, or polarizing - is to give the photographer greater control by

determining the kind of light which enters his lens. Colored filters effect the picture by absorbing certain light wavelengths or color
values and heighten the importance of others. Ultra-Violet filters absorb the ulrta-violet wavelengths. Almost all light sources
produce UV rays - the sun, fluorescent lights, flash bulbs or electronic flashes. Though the human eye cannot actually see UV rays,
if they are not absorbed, they will create a haze effect over the photograph. (Most colored filters are also treated to absorb UV rays.)
Polarizing filters cut through reflections by absorbing certain right-angle ray vibrations. Because Pentax SLRs have TTL exposure
meters built in, they automatically adjust for the change in light produced by the filter.

RL-59C TTL Macro Ringlight Flash

With unbelievable power for the price, the RL-59 series of ringlight
flashes from Phoenix delivers. Made for each specific autofocus
camera, they give full TTL metering to allow accurate exposures of
closeup subjects. When shooting at extremely short distances,
relatively minor movement of lighting and subject results in
relatively large changes of exposure. Shooting quick-moving subjects
in rapidly changing conditions becomes an exercise in dependency
on film latitude. TTL metering eliminates the need for lengthy
calculations of exposure, because the inherent loss of light at macro
distances can automatically be accounted with ease.

SIGMA

SA-7/SA-9QD

35mm Autofocus SLRs

Sigma’s AF SLR cameras, the SA-7 and SA-9QD provide the right mix of
features for great photographic versatility, in compact, lightweight
camera bodies. Together with Sigma’s comprehensive system of lenses,
flash and accessories, they can fulfill almost any photographic need,
while maintaining simplicity of design and operation.
They feature automatic and manual exposure control, as well as
automatic and manual focus capabilities. In addition they feature
a stainless steel lens-mount, built-in flash with red-eye reduction,
automatic film handling, three metering systems, multiple auto
exposure modes including a shiftable program exposure mode, AE Lock,
auto-exposure bracketing, depth-of-field preview, mirror lock-up capability,
3-channel wireless remote control receiver, and wireless TTL control flash (with
optional EF500 DG Super or EF500 Super flash units). The SA-7 features a high-speed shutter of 1/2000 and flash sync 1/90
of a second. Continuous shooting of up to 1.5 fps (frames-per-second) is possible.
Otherwise identical, the high performance SA-9 QD steps up with action-stopping shutter (1/8000) and flash sync (1/180)
speeds, high speed 3 fps shooting and a built-in databack.

Precise Autofocus

◆ Using AF-cross sensor in the center of the

viewfinder, they feature fast, easy and pre­cise autofocusing capability. You simply set
the point of focus on any selected part of a
subject while looking through the viewfind­er. The AF-cross ssensor does the rest offer­ing excellent tracking capability and the
ability to focus multiple subject types.
You’re pictures will never be out of focus.

◆ There are two focus modes to match shoot-

ing purpose and subject:

– Single AF mode with a “focus” indicator

light in the viewfinders along with an elec­tronic sound to indicate correct focus.

– Continuous AF mode when shooting a sub-

ject moving at constant speed, such as
sporting events or people marching in a
parade.

◆ A predictive AF function in the Continuous

AF mode ensures optimum focus when tak­ing pictures of subjects moving towards or
away from you at constant speed. It will
latch onto subjects between infinity and

26.4 feet moving as fast as 30 miles per hour.

Three Metering Systems

◆ 8-Segment Evaluative Metering: When

selected this mode divides the image into 8
parts, and the light intensity of each seg­ment is measured independently. An opti­mum exposure is calculated based on the
information obtained by this metering.

◆ Center Area Metering: In this mode, the

light intensity of an area (about 9mm in
diameter at the center of the viewfinder) is
measured so that you can select an expo­sure value to obtain the intended image.
Since the light intensity is detected only at
the center of the viewfinder, this mode lets
you eliminate the effects of surrounding
light sources when setting the exposure.

◆ Average Metering: This mode measures the

light intensity at the center of the viewfind­er image, but also takes the brightness of
the surrounding area into consideration.
This is the most common metering mode.
When used with the exposure compensa­tion function, this mode provides effective
exposure control, according to the type of
subject being photographed.

Exposure Modes

◆ The dial for adjusting shutter speed and the

selector for setting exposure mode are
positioned together for smooth and reliable
operation.

– Program Auto (P): In this mode, the

cameras automatically set the shutter speed
and aperture, enabling quick shooting.

– Shiftable Program mode lets you enjoy the

creative benefits of aperture- or shutter­priority without having to change exposure
modes. While in P mode you can quickly
shift the programmed autoexposure setting
to a desired aperture or shutter speed with­out affecting the original exposure

– In Aperture-priority mode you select the

aperture and the cameras set the optimum
shutter speed.

– In Shutter-priority you select the shutter

speed and the cameras sets the correct
aperture value.

–

In Manual mode you select both the aperture
and shutter speed in any combination.

AF Lenses for Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Pentax and Sigma

As the world’s largest independent manufacturer of zoom and fixed focal length lenses, Sigma offers a highly innovative and
creative selection of lenses ranging from 8mm to 800mm and virtually everything in between. The lenses offer a high level of
performance, easy handling and advanced optical precision to create profound and emotional images. Sigma lenses are built
with corresponding mounts to make them
fully compatible with the SA-7 and SA-9QD
as well as digital cameras from Canon,
Minolta, Nikon and Pentax.
In addition, Sigma offers a number of lenses
designed specifically for digital SLR cameras,
which can also be used with 35mm SLRs.
They are mostly wide-angle and wide zoom
type lenses with large apertures (e.g. 20mm
f/1.8, 24mm f/1.8, 28mm f/1.8, 24-70mm
f/2.8, 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5), and feature
superior light distribution, so that there is
minimal light fall-off or vignetting, even
when used at maximum aperture.
These lenses are designated DG type, and are part of Sigma’s EX series of lenses. Remember that the digital imaging device
is generally much smaller than a 35mm negative, so the lens will have a longer “effective” focal length. The conversion factor
is generally about 1.5x, so a 14mm lens effectively becomes about 21mm when used on these digital cameras. As a result,
there are few choices available for wideangle lenses, or even fast “normal” lenses, for these digital cameras. The DG lenses
help fill this void.

ULTRA WIDE-ANGLE LENSES

14mm f2.8 EX Aspherical

The world’s shortest focal length non-fisheye wide-angle AF lens with a fast f2.8 maximum aperture and

HIGH PERFORMANCE ZOOM LENSES

SP AF28-105mm f/2.8 LD Aspherical [IF]

This lens features a fast f/2.8 aperture even at 105mm, so you can shoot fantastic portraits with better background
blur. The use of four large diameter aspherical elements and three LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements reduces
various aberrations while minimizing the fall-off of light at the corners. IF (Internal Focusing) and Triple-Cam
zoom system contribute to the lens’ extreme compactness and excellent optical performance. Since the front lens
group doesn’t rotate, you can use polarizing filters or the supplied lens hood. An Anti-Slip-Mode mechanism pre­vents the lens barrel from slipping downward. Includes a lens hood and soft case. Filter size: 82mm.

AF28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 XR Aspherical [IF] Macro

Incorporating revolutionary optics, the AF 28-200mm achieves superior image quality and compactness
in the same zoom lens. XR Glass bends light more than normal or lower refractive index glasses, which
makes the length of the whole optical system shorter. In addition, optical power is enhanced with three
aspherical lenses, each which do the job of several lenses combined, to reduce and eliminate aberration
in the shortened optical configuration. Key to the perfection of the lens was development of the ‘moving
triple cam’ – the mechanism that helps the lens achieve rock-solid stability during the radical barrel
movement between the retracted 28mm position to the extended 200mm position. This remarkable
mechanism transforms the conventional fixed triple cam into a moving unit that slides in conjunction
with zooming action. Includes a lens hood. Filter size: 62mm.

AF28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD Aspherical [IF] Macro

A quantum leap in design, technology and manufacturing, the AF28-300mm is built with an optical system
that incorporates three Hybrid Aspherical elements and two high-grade LD (Low Dispersion) glass ele­ments. Together they provide never-before-possible sharpness, contrast and color depth, while eliminating
chromatic aberrations inherent to a high-power zoom lens of this magnitude. These state-of-the-art optics
are housed in a sophisticated “Quad-Cam Zoom Mechanism” which enables four lens barrels to be extend­ed and retracted effortlessly - achieving compactness at 28mm, while holding precise extension at 300mm.
It features an Internal Focusing (IF) system, minimizing illumination loss at image corners, and suppress­ing aberrations that are caused by focusing positions. Includes a lens hood. Filter size: 62mm.

AF70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD Macro

This is the definitive lightweight, compact telephoto macro zoom with a maximum magnifi­cation ratio of 1:2 at the 300mm setting — ideal for shooting subjects that are difficult to
approach such as sporting and theatrical events. The lens also has the ability to provide beau­tifully blurred backgrounds and to highlight the main subject in protraiture, or “compression
effects” that make the most of the telephoto lens. Switch to maco mode, and subjects as close
as 37˝ can be shot within the focal range of 180-300mm, for true macro photography. It
includes a lens hood. 62mm filter size.

HIGH PERFORMANCE ZOOM LENSES

SP AF200-500mm f/5-6.3 Di LD [IF

Bring your far away subjects up close while compressing the distance between the main subject and the back­ground for professional-looking results. Even though this lens covers a range up to 500mm, its design is relatively
lightweight and compact. The optical design of this lens enables you to get as close as 8.2´ from your main sub­ject at any focal length, and provides a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5 at the 500mm end, allowing for
dynamic and impressive pictures of small objects.

This lens sports the detachable Filter Effect Control ring which allows a filter to be rotated to the desired
position with the hood still attached. This enables you to simultaneously perform minute adjustments to a
polarizer filter. You can confirm the Polarizing effect through the viewfinder, all while using the hood to prevent
harmful light from entering the lens. The Di designation means that this lens features an optical system that is
designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras. This lens includes a lens hood,
detachable filter effect control and a soft lens case with a strap. Filter size: 86mm.

AT-X PRO ZOOM LENSES

AF 20-35mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro IF

Just look through the viewfinder and see the world in a dramatic new perspective. An ultra
wide-angle zoom, the AF 20-35mm produces edge-to-edge razor-sharp images, while the fast f/2.8
aperture makes picture taking indoors or at dusk—effortless. Additional features include two (the
front and rear) molded multi-coated aspherical elements, and the exclusive “Focus Clutch
Mechanism”. In addition, IF (Internal Focus) means filter threads don’t move during focusing.
The advantage is when a special effects filter is used, it isn’t necessary to readjust the position of
the filter every time the focus is changed. Like all Tokina AT-X AF lenses the AF 20-35mm f/2.8
AT-X Pro is constructed using an all aluminum lens barrel and a chrome-plated brass mount plate.
Lens elements are made of high-quality HLD (high refraction, low dispersion) glass for high
resolution and contrast. Filter size is 77mm.

AF 28-70mm f/2.8

AT-X Pro SV

This lens provides a constant wide f/2.8
aperture for excellent low light
photography at any focal length in the
zoom range. The wide aperture allows
more light through to the camera for
taking pictures in difficult lighting
situations, or for use of faster shutter
speeds to either reduce vibrations or
capture fast action. Also, constant aperture
lenses make manual strobe calculations
easier. With the increased use of
non-corrosive materials this lens will give
you years of use. Filter size is 77mm.

glass, this lens uses two aspherical lens elements
and one SD (super low dispersion) glass
element to insure critical sharpness across the
film plane. In addition to outstanding optical
quality, it offers conveniences such as a window
showing a distance scale. This makes it possible
to tell the focusing distance, regardless of the
actual setting of the focus mode. Redesigned
Focus Clutch Mechanism allows the focus
ring to be snapped back to the manual focus
position at anytime. This means you don’t have
to change the AF/MF switch every time the
lens is switched from auto to manual focus.

AF 24-200mm f/3.5-5.6 ATX IF

The ultimate traveling lens, the AF 24-200mm is currently the widest zoom range available. It is con­structed using a chrome plated brass mount plate and a combination of aluminum and composite
lens barrels to reduce weight while maintaining strength and durability. Optically, the lens uses two
Aspherical lens elements and one SD (Super Low Dispersion) glass element to ensure sharpness
across the film plane. Internal Focusing (IF) mechanism gives this lens fast auto focus and means the
filter threads don’t move during focusing. This allows special effects filter such as a circular polarizer
to be used. Focus distance is indicated on the manual focus ring. Like the rest of the lenses in the
AT-X series, the AF 24-200mm is a parafocal lens, meaning, when focus is achieved at a telephoto
focal length, you can zoom back to wide angle and maintain focus. Filter size is 72mm.

don’t want to lug around huge zoom lenses—but still want the flexibility to
take long range sport or nature shots. Specialized features for this lens include a
supplied tripod clamp that is rotatable for landscape or portrait shots, and a
zoom lock. By locking the zoom at its shortest (80mm) setting, the lens can be
carried comfortably suspended at the camera. SD (Super Low Dispersion) glass
reduces chromatic aberration for high contrast shots of maximum definition
with any color fringe. High quality is also achieved with the bayonet hood and
internal “flare cutter”. Filter size is 72mm.

BESSA R2A/BESSA R3A

Manual Focus 35mm Rangefinder Cameras

A great alternative to the Leica M, Konica Hexar RF and Contax G-Series
cameras, the Bessa R2A and R3A use Leica’s M mount, plus they offer
automatic aperture-priority exposure (metered manual exposure is also
possible), Trigger Winder capability, and comfortable ratcheted film
advance. Compatible with most standard Leica M bayonet lenses or screw
mount lenses with an adapter, they feature improved body covering like
magnesium-cast top and bottom covers and scratch-resistant splatter paint
finish. They also offer a superior rubberized and anodized metal body, as
well as internal parts made of metal instead of plastic (as on the Bessa R).
The Bessa R2A and R3A are solid and durable, while the textured rubber
will “hold” onto your hand. They are also exceptionally comfortable cam-

eras to hold and carry, due to the very graspable body

covering and the molded palm grip on the back door.
Identical except for the finders, the R2A has a .7 magnification finder with 35/50/75/90 framelines while the R3A has a 1:1
finder with 40/50/75/90 framelines. This makes the Bessa 3A the first Leica M mount camera with a life size 1:1 finder!
The life size view finder allows you to shoot comfortably and effectively with both eyes open at the same time!

Manual Focus 35mm
Rangefinder Camera

The Bessa R is composed of an all aluminum die-cast metal casing
with a streamlined body that fits comfortably into the palm of your
hand. It is extremely durable with excellent corrosion resistance. The
combination rangefinder/viewfinder has framelines for 35, 50, 75
and 90mm lenses-and makes a good approximation of a 28mm lens
by using the whole viewfinder. The overall brightness and clarity of
the split image is nearly equal the Leica M6, and actually brighter
than a Leica M2 or M3. It is also parallax corrected.

◆ Incorporates a Leica 39mm screw lens

mount, so it can accept lenses from Leica,
Canon, Contax, Voigtlander and others

◆ Changing of focal lengths is done manually

and the double mechanical shutter is quiet,
reliable and won’t be damaged by the sun.

◆ Manual focus and exposure modes

◆ TTL centerweighted light metering (range

is EV 1-19 @ ISO 100 with 50mm f/1.5 lens)

◆ 1 to 1/2000 shutter speed + bulb, with flash

sync at 1/125 second

◆ Clear LED exposure scale with red for

under/overexposure and green for correct

◆ Exceptionally bright viewfinder with split

image rangefinder patch and brightlines for
35, 50, 75 & 90mm lenses

◆ ISO range is ISO 25-3200 (manually set)

◆ Manual film transport using superb and

unobtrusive rewind knob

◆ 10-second self-timer

◆ Hot flash shoe and PC terminal

◆ Shutter speed LED readout from 1-2000 at

the bottom of the finder.

◆ TTL centerweighted light metering for

ambient light (range is EV 1-19 @ ISO 100

as strap lugs for mounting the camera ver­tically rather than horizontally.

◆ Powered by two 1.5v LR44 alkaline

batteries. Low batteries are indicated by
blinking LEDs.
