But there aren't any for me, really... :-) In my Contax G1 I dont like the
fact that I can't really focus manually. Bessas are waay to loud and
vibration-prone. I cannot afford a Leica, nor a Hexar RF. Older cameras
(such as wonderful Canon P I once had) don't have meters built in, and I
can't live without a meter. Minoltas 7sII and Canonets have too squinty
viewfinders and too short rangefinder baselenght. So I'm left with an SLR. I
guess...

I know a SLR cannot be as quiet as a rangefinder (though some are quieter -
e.g. a MX or an Olympus OM are quieter and better damped than a Bessa R),
but I'd like to be able to focus without the need for recomposing every
shot. More important than quietness is the question of vibrations caused by
the mirror slap. How do these two cameras (MZ-S and Z-1p) compare?

Lukasz

PS. It's good to be back on the list :-)
