Hi, Xavier,

The MZ-M is an extremely competent and underrated camera. I'm sure you'll enjoy using it. As Chris-P says, the kit lens was a 35-80 (autofocus, oddly, although the camera is strictly manual), but it will take any K-mount Pentax lens, although the newer DA lenses are designed for digital only and will not cover the entire 35mm frame. To get the full benefit of the two-segment metering, you can't go wrong with any of the SMC-A lenses. SMC-M lenses will limit the metering to centre-weighted, but that works just as well in most circumstances. I have a 35-80 f4-5.6 in as-new condition that I have no use for (gone digital). Drop me an email or private message if you're intersted in it. Good luck with your new camera.
