I have a Pentax Z-1P body for sale, complete with the extremely difficult to find FDP Grip Strap.
Both articles are in Mint- condition, apart from two minor things:
1) The body exhibits the very common small crack next to the screw on the camera body baseplate (this is very minor and will be covered by the Grip Strap)
2) There is a very small scratch on the memory lock button to the rear of the camera.
Other than this, I would say that the camera is perfect. It has a very clean and dust-free focus screen.
Internally the camera is also very clean, with the film pressure plate unmarked.
The dedicated Grip Strap significantly improves the handling of this camera by adding about 1 inch to the height.

I tend to use it without the actual "hand strap", just using the shaped extension to improve the ergonomics of the camera.
Also included are the original instructions (some pages have come loose, but they're complete), a Hove user guide, a body cap, Pentax camera strap, all other caps and covers, a spare brand new lithium battery and an old but servicable Hama camera case/holster.
I'm very reluctant to sell the body, but I'm just not giving it enough use to justify keeping it (I also have the older SFX-N body, 2 compacts, a 70s rangefinder and a new cheapo digital compact!!)
It's just going to have to go - I'm running out of hiding places in the house!
I'm looking for £250 (plus postage) for the lot and can provide digital pictures of the merchandise, if you're interested?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
