Re: MZ-S - new to me

[Pat White]

Congratulations on your choice of the Pentax MZ-S!  It's a very enjoyable 
camera to use, with a high-quality feel to it.  If you get the BG-10 grip, 
it's even better.  The infra-red remote is handier than you might think, 
enabling self-portraits from as far away as 15-20 feet, and a good 
substitute for a cable release.

You're right about the minimal vibration.  I've been able to get sharp 
pictures, hand-held, at surprisingly slow speeds.

The data imprinting feature is really appreciated, especially when doing a 
series of test shots.  As for the film counter, I'm happy to say I just shot 
roll 253, and the camera works as well as the day I bought it.  At 27 rolls, 
yours is nearly new.  Happy shooting!
