Just a quick update folks.....
I finally had a chance to sit down with my "terminally ill" Z-1 last night and a miracle happened! I rewound the film/took the battery out and I was just gonna toss it into my "camera junk box"........But I thought I'd give it one last chance. So I put the battery back in and switched it on - Kachinnnng!! The mirror suddenly flipped back down and the camera just worked like nothing had happened!
I am of course really glad that it came back to life but I can't help to have this feeling at the back of my head that it's gonna just pack up on me again one day, probably at the worst possible time! Oh well, I guess that's life
Thanks for all your input everyone.
Cheers,
D

Thanks for the link Dave - Unfortunately, there is a crack near the battery door (I'm anal like that) and I don't need another 28-105!
I was thinking of offering my Z-1p (sold the Z-1 last year) but felt like King of the Castle when I bought it in 1995 but reluctant to part with it (same with my M645).

There is a guy called Pramath at Asahi Photo in Brentford, who might be able to help to get yours fixed.

Wisley has never really held great appeal to me, don't know why.
I have membership for Kew and Barnes, great when it's quiet first thing on a Sunday, hell when the kids arrive.
Back to Wisley, I hear they sometime open early for photographers.......
