Hi,
I only looked at it, as i have a broken arm. i will be seriousely tempted
once i can have a play with it. although i doubt i really need it, my MZ5n,
LX and MX serve me quite well. although the MZ-S and an LX could make a good
pair.
Kinda wierd how they had a M50/1.4 on it.
the guy in the shop said after they have sold a few the price should come
down.
Leon do you work in the city?
