The '''Z-1''' (aka '''PZ-1''') is a high-end [[35mm]] [[SLR]] with [[autofocus]] introduced by [[Pentax]] in 1991. It utilizes K<sub>AF2</sub> lenses and is also compatible with lenses with earlier versions of the K-mount:
* K<sub>AF</sub> lenses support almost all features of the camera except powered zoom and related functions.
* K<sub>A</sub> lenses can be mounted with the 'AF Adapter 1.7X' and will then support autofocus, provided they are f/2.8 or wider. Without the adapter they do not support autofocus, but the Focus Indicator (FI) feature can still be used (with lenses of f/5.6 or wider). [[Shutter-priority]] AE and programmed AE modes can all be used.
* Manual-aperture K mount lenses can be mounted with AF Adapter K, or use the FI feature as above. They do not support shutter-priority AE or the programmed AE modes, but can be used for aperture-priority AE and in manual exposure.
* 42mm screw-mount lenses can be mounted using 'Mount Adapter K'. The FI feature can be used if the lens aperture is wide enough. Aperture-priority AE and manual exposure are possible.

A special edition, '''Z-1 SE''', was issued in 1994 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Asahi Optical Co. The camera was superseded in 1995 by the '''[[Pentax Z-1p|Z-1p]].'''
