Hi, Don,
I earlier today picked up the other one (not hmayer's) that had been listed with a $250 Buy-It-Now, described as LN with just a few light scratches on the LCD screen and a missing cable release socket cap. Sounded pretty good, so we'll see. I have missed the PZ-1p (especially the flash compensation feature) since I sold one I had last year ...

Harry Mayer (hmayer12) has one on eekBay for $350.00 mint also. I was very, very tempted but if I can fix this one and sell the 70-210 I should make out pretty well. If I like it as much as some do, a mint one can be had for around $250-$275 going by recent auction prices. Probably less if I wait a while, the nice ones like the SF-1n and ZX/MZ-5n have been dropping very rapidly in the last few months.

I saw what appeared to be a mint PZ-1p in an Idaho Camera shop this weekend. I didn't handle it. Price on the tag was $350.
