P�l is right. High durability of MZ-S shutter was mentioned in Canadian MZ-S brochure. And because this brochure is direct translation from Japanese version, I consider this info as very reliable. You can download this brochure here:

Japanese version is on www.pentax.co.jp
It also mentions impossible things like "Absolute accuracy in focusing and metering" and "The flexibility to suit any purpose and any photographer". For the shutter they just say "the high performance shutter puts the emphasis on reliability and accuracy in real situations" (which could also be read as "it performs bad in lab tests, so we'll limit talk to "real situations" only"). No figures mentioned like MTBF in shutter cycles. Just marketing talk (that also inspired Paal with the "100% accurate metering" claim).
