Pentax's entry-level AF SLR — the Z-50, program auto, built-in flash, KAF mount, 1993.

The Pentax Z-50 is a 35mm autofocus film SLR from 1993, part of the Z/PZ series and sold in some markets as the PZ-50. It was an entry-level autofocus body in the range, built to a simpler and lighter specification than the Z-1 and Z-5 for buyers wanting an affordable automatic SLR. It uses the Pentax KAF autofocus mount and was marketed under the Pentax name.

It is a 35mm single-lens-reflex camera using the Pentax KAF autofocus mount, with through-the-lens metering and in-body autofocus. The electronically-timed focal-plane shutter reaches a top speed of 1/2000. Exposure modes include program, aperture-priority, shutter-priority and manual, together with auto-picture scene programs for everyday subjects. A built-in pop-up flash and motorised film advance are fitted. The body is fully electronic and depends on its battery to focus, meter and fire.

The Z-50 suits beginners and casual users who want a light autofocus SLR with a built-in flash for family, travel and general photography, while keeping aperture-priority and manual modes available. It takes autofocus KAF lenses and older manual-focus K-mount optics. It is a simpler, more automated camera than the higher Z models and is easy to operate in program mode.

As a used purchase, inspect the foam light seals and mirror-damper foam, then the electronics. Confirm the LCD display is intact and not bleeding, autofocus operates and the pop-up flash fires. Check for the perished sticky coating and worn plastic parts common to the series, especially on the back and grip. Test the motorised film advance, verify the exposure modes and metering, and remember the camera needs a healthy battery to work at all.
