I've dug out my MZs which I've been planning to check and get rid of. Of the five I own, three have suffered the broken cog problem: an MZ-5N, an MZ-3 and an MZ-6. The survivors are another 5N and a 30.
This is the first MZ series camera I have had that actually works. TBH, I've not been that interested in them either preferring A-series and earlier bodies. I've always been curious about this one model, and so far I rather like it. It is smaller than I imagined (makes the K-3iii feel large) but still has that well-built feel to it that I like. The other MZ series cameras I have had a passing acquaintance with all felt a bit flimsy.

In one of those oops moments I have ended up with two motordrives and two rebuilt NiCAD battery packs (done professionally, not by me). I need to dig through my boxes to check I have two chargers as well! I'll take some photos later this evening and post them. Hard to price as all the ones I can find online say "battery pack needs rebuilding..." but judging from those and the cost of the rebuild, I'm guessing around about £140 plus postage is about the going rate. Any interest?

Thanks, Kris.

Did you buy the one on eBay Kris with the 28-105mm FA on the front?

Love that camera - it's the noise it makes when the shutter fires!
No, it was a different one. Apparently they resemble busses... I was surprised how small the MZ-S is. Feels well built, however.

If the serial number idea is true, it'll be plastic, but the jury is out on whether that "fact" is reality. It works at the moment and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
