Compatibility
The Z-1 can work with any Pentax lens . You need to consider only a few nuances:
- There are lenses designed for use with APS-C cameras. Such lenses, as a rule, will give the strongest vignetting ;
- autofocus will not work with lenses equipped with a K AF3 or K F mount. Confirmation of focus will work.
