I must be very unlucky, as my MZ 7 shutter refuses to work.
The camera has never been damaged,knocked,or dropped, it just suddenly stopped working.(yes I did replace batteries, and tried a new roll of film, every thing lights up and acts as normal, but the shutter is dead)
It has had very few rolls of film through it,and despite it being in as new condition.
I've also been told it's a common fault with these cameras!
Of course the cost of repair out weighs the value of the camera, so it sits in the bag an uneconomical repair!
Perhaps Pentax would like to comment, on this being a common fault, apart from quoting uneconomical repair charges!
Have you tried Harrow Technical? I have used them to service older cameras and they were great and reasonablly priced. Try giving them a call. They may even want your camera for spares if you don't want to get it fixed.

I like the boy in the fruit bowl, however the lighting on him is wrong for the picture, needs some blue, and he is too bright compaired to the rest of the image.

It certainly has atmosphere.

I have been looking for a cheep slave flash and came across this, has anybody tried one or ever bought anything form DigitalToyShop?

While searching for slave flashguns, I came across this Site. It's not as cheap as the £16 option but might be right for your needs, since it appears to have a caving origion!

You would also be able to use two of these devices to trigger two separate flashguns.

I have an old flash I could use, however I cannot find where to get a SLS 750 peanut slave trigger, nor can I find the SLS 006S mini slave flash, which sounds ideal.

I am looking to get a second flash unit to operate in conjunction with my Metz 58.

The main criteri is it must be able to operate wirelessly with my K10D, the idea is to use the unboard flash to trigger both the Metz and this second flash.

It does not have to be high powered and does not need to have a bounce/tilt or zoom head. Some independent controll over output power will be necessary.

I have a very limited budget as I want the 16-50DA* Lens!

West London last time I looked. But who needs Ealing's weather wherever it is?
