Another MZ 5n - or better?

[Foto Syb]

Hi!

Recently, my MZ-5n has started to grow old: the ISO-sensor is damaged, the flash is impotent (won't stand up when you push the button),and the film insert is no longer as easy as it used to be.

So I could buy a twinbrother: another MZ-5N body.

I like the operating of this camera, the two round knobs, I am very content about the photo's I've made. I am not interested in those pre-programmed 'convenience settings' like on the MZ50. Do you know if there is an upgrade of this MZ-5n camera, with the possibility to go entirely on "Manual"?

And have you as well experienced these weaknesses in the MZ-5n body or am I just unlucky with my camera?

And is it true that these camera's are called differently in the USA? Is there any compatibility problem between USA-lenses and the "European market" lenses?

Thanks for your reply!
