Thibouille, My history with Pentax is like your's including extensive shooting with the ME, Super-A with and without MotorA, and the Z1...at least until I joined this list and became enabled. ;-) Since then, my most used camera is the LX followed by the Z1p.
I recently took a chance on an ebay auction paying $580 for a MZ-S. I've only put a few rolls thru the camera but I do like it. It is more compact than the Z1, closer in size and weight to the LX. It also has fast autofocus features. I've been happy with it and the professional feel it gives. My urge to buy it came from thinking about it as the LAST Pentax film camera. I like film and have been resisting the urge to buy digital. (More of a psychological problem as I know those jaggies are hidden in the pictures somewhere even if I can't see them!) I want to have this camera for some time to come and was afraid of not being able to find one at a later date. All in all, I am very satisfied with the purchase. Regards, Bob S.
