a second hand 35 mm SLR, body only, no battery included ,I have tested the electronic functions of the body with, when taking the images of it. (the battery is not included- this auction is for the body only. It requires 35mm film to work. Impt: the last battery confirmed power was still operating, however was not of proper quality and ultimately burnt out my Z1. The Pentax Z-10 (also sold as the PZ-10) is an entry-level autofocus 35 mm SLR introduced in 1991, marking the debut of Pentax’s Z-series film cameras. It was designed around the KAF2 mount, supporting both autofocus and manual-focus K-mount lenses, and introduced features that would later be refined in higher-end models like the Z-1 and Z-1p. The Z-10 features a fully automatic Program mode, a metered Manual mode, and a unique Hyper Manual (HyM) mode that allows the user to press a “green button” to instantly set a correct shutter speed when using manual aperture lenses. It uses a 6-zone evaluative meter in Program mode and spot metering in Manual and HyM modes. Shutter speeds range from 30 seconds to 1/2000 sec, with a flash sync of 1/100 sec, and exposure compensation is available up to ±3 EV in ½-stop increments. The camera includes a built-in TTL flash (GN 12), motorized film advance and rewind, and support for Power Zoom lenses, which introduced features like zoom clip memory and image size tracking on compatible lenses. The viewfinder offers 0.77× magnification and 91% coverage, with basic indicators for focus confirmation, exposure status, and flash readiness. Leightweight (490 g), easy to use, and surprisingly capable with manual lenses thanks to its spot metering and focus confirmation. Downsides include a dim pentamirror viewfinder, no display of aperture or shutter speed in the viewfinder, and limited manual control unless paired with “A” series or newer lenses. Autofocus is noisy and slow, and the camera lacks ISO override—relying solely on DX-coded film.
