Why not buy another ME Super in ugly condition from Ebay or wherever and use it for parts?
I think $250 for a 5n with a problem is too high. I can't really remember now but I think I got mine for that amount or less from an Australian PDML member in great condition WITH a lens and shipping... Cory has had no real problems with his 5n in what? two years of moderate shooting... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Boris Liberman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PDML" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 10:54 AM Subject: Question about MZ-5n > Hi! > > My co-worker is willing to sell me his MZ-5n camera.
