Hi Bob,
Great choice of camera. you won't be disappointed. I too shoot with an MZ-S and love it. The BG10 is a really nice addon and improves the handling substantially.

It is a really nice camera. It remindes me of a modern Super Program. The functions are similar, but updated with autofocus. The weight is a bit more than a Super Program, but less than an LX. Fit and finish are great, but not waterproof.
I don't like the viewfinder very much, but I'll learn to live with it. The sound of the shutter/winder is different too. It seems much quieter than the LX or PZ-1p shutter. I feel less mirror vibration too. The advantage is the built-in 2.5 fps winder, and that I now have something lighter that the PZ-1p to use with my FA lenses. I took the FA50/1.4 for a walk and cut myself.
Anybody got a line on a cheap BG-10 battery pack or GG60 grid screen?
The companion digital MZ-D would have been one great camera! Sorry we all missed it.
Regards, Bob S.
