Hi all,
Has anyone had of heard of any problems with the pop-up flash on the
ZX-5N (malfunctions, fails to pop up, etc.)? I tend to be skeptical
about the longevity of these little flashes.
Thanks,

It's a repair situation. Probably just a CLA. But that would cost
more than the camera is worth. Put it on the shelf and admire it. Or

Hi,
I had recently changed the screen of my newly acquired ZX-5n with a split
image focusing screen (a ZX-M part ordered from Pentax Colorado). Thanks
