I think the MZ-S is slightly retro too, but I don't have one so... Play with an MZ-5n. It is retro in appearance and control layout. Have a look at www.pentaxusa.com for its manual (it is there) and have a wee read. It is more retro than the ME Super, except that there is no fully mechanic shutter speed; you need batteries to fire this. > Would it be impossible to build an AF SLR with some mechanical shutter > speeds? Mechanical aperture readout? Manual film rewind? The last one is not available on the -5n. I don't fully understand the middle bit. If that's "displaying the aperture on the VF in Av mode", no.
