Seeing as you've started this thread, I'd thought I'd join in!


I'm also a new member, and very much look forward to picking up some hints and tips and having some discussion with everyone on the board.

Thanks for advice, I might just take MXV up on that - I can bear to part with £30 as opposed to £90!

It looks like Avon might have got confused with the flash I had, as others in the range would require the flash adapter and this would have pushed the price up quite a bit. As it stands, they were correct in specifying the lead and camera adapter I would need, but the price they offered looks a bit on the heavy side.

Many thanks

Matt

Hi Kim

I have a similar problem with a zoom lens, it's getting to the stage where it looks like vaseline in the lens!

Did you have any luck with repairing it? I always thought severe cases were pretty terminal, but it's pretty distressing to have to junk a good lens!

Cheers

Hi all

I'm not really interested in getting into the arguments over the prices that are being quoted, but is £200-£250 a reasonable price for an MZS? I only ask as it does seem a bit low to me, the only one I've actually seen for sale was the one that Kim (I think) mentioned for sale for £400 in Bath. Granted, it was mint (I had a try and it was immaculate) and boxed, but still £400. If they are now going for around the £250 mark, I might just keep an eye out for one - my MZ-3 cost £220 mint and boxed and my PZ-1p £200 in OK condition, but the MZS is both a lot newer and (in the case of the MZ-3) a lot more expensive when new, hence my surprise at £200-£250 being a suitable price for a mint one.

Also, a small point perhaps, but I think you have to be a member or subscriber to be able to post on the classifieds board, I'd suggest that's why a lot of people are trying to sell here.

p.s. Kim, apologies for delay in sending you scans of the battery grip FG manual, gremlins in the scanner! I'll keep trying.
