Ah yes, I haven't seen a K-1000 much :-) My perception of the Pentax
being about as small as the OM was in fact because when I bought my first
SLR (a FM), one of the classmates had a ME-Super, I believe, and I
couldn't believe that it was even smaller than my FM! The ZX-5 that I
bought to "replace" the OM-4T, is not a whole lot bigger than the 4-T,
even though it is a modern autofocus camera with builtin winder.

Good luck with it. I have a friend who bought two and both have been to
the Pentax service center. One has been in twice and needs to go
again. Mostly intermittent metering problems. It is a beautiful little
camera though. I was quite taken with it.

Just to make it clear, I bought the ZX-5 "replacement" when the camera came
out, so may be about 6, 7 years ago? About a year and half ago, the ZX-5
has been replaced by the one that it replaced, i.e. I got bit by
Zuikoholicism big time. So now the ZX-5 sits on the shelf, and the OMs and
the Zuikos get a lot of workout. I have to say, I don't miss the autofocus
a bit, even though that was one of the main reasons why I bought the ZX-5
in the first place. I love the fast wide Zuiko primes. Sometimes I miss the
zoom flexibility, or the fill flash, but overall, I am happier w/ the OM
setup by far.
