I've got an MZ-3 with battery grip, basically an MZ-5n with a faster shutter and correspondingly faster flash sync. I gather it was made for the Japanese market, but could stand corrected.
A small gear in the mirror mechanism has busted, so now the mirror won't actuate. Tragic, lovely camera but not cost-effective to repair.
A very common fault. You can get it replaced with a brass gear, but I guess it isn't cheap.I've got an MZ-3 with battery grip, basically an MZ-5n with a faster shutter and correspondingly faster flash sync. I gather it was made for the Japanese market, but could stand corrected.

I don't know your exact app and phone, but I have read a number of reviews of phone light meters and they seem to work well. I'd try that for now.

Me too, although I keep myself out of trouble by looking for a bargain K2DMD which are only marginally less rare than unicorn droppings.I keep drooling over the K2... Might have to get myself in trouble at home...

Actually less of a stupid question than you suggest. If the low light autofocus is so good, is the focus confirmation when using manual focus lenses in low light equally good? Often it can be difficult to focus manually in low light so it would be nice to know if the focus confirmation can be used to help.Defragged wrote:
Does any one know if the improved focusing applies to auto focus lenses only, or is there a benefit to manual focusing with manual lenses as well???
Since your hand/eye combination does the focus with these lenses, the only way to improve it is by buying better glasses and exercising your fingers.Does any one know if the improved focusing applies to auto focus lenses only, or is there a benefit to manual focusing with manual lenses as well???
Best wishes, Kris.
