Still for sale at £235

Pentax's last high-spec film camera which replaced the Z-1p

Excellent condition, cosmetically and mechanically. An absolute dream to use and to look at but I am using film less frequently since getting the K20D.

bump...

It's a cracking film camera, very compact, light and silent (compared with the Z-1p and K10/20).

Hi Pwynnej,
are you still selling this camera? please, e-mail me, I would need it really fast, because mine just stopped working and I have a wedding to shoot and no time for repair. I can pay you by paypal or transfer, whatever, just I need it before next weekend. I live in Belgium.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Katarina

I don't miss my MZ-S at all if I'm honest, other than for it's engineering. I'm an impatient so-and-so and film just isn't immediate enough for me any more. Besides, developing costs in Spain are far from sensible, and I have an MZ-6, Super-A, and ME available if I feel the urge.

I'm glad to know you like the FA 135mm, it is a cracker, and I would certainly miss it if I didn't have the DA*50-135mm. Both are remarkable lenses but it wasn't sensible to keep both. As the IQ was so similar, the flexibility of the zoom did it for me.

Agree with you on the engineering, it's a superbly crafted camera that I am afraid to 'abuse' it like I do the Z-1 (which is coming to Iceland with the K20D). It's most likely going to Belgium for next weekend (part of my earlier concern is that the european definition of next weekend is different to that of the UK:roll

I think you'll end up feeling the same about your MZ-S as I do about the FA-135
