I don't think too many on the list purchased an MZ-S, although there are a few who commented that was their favorite camera, or at least one of their favorites. The older Pentaxes were ubiquitous. There's rarely a photographer that has not had contact with a Spottie or K1000. Even a few non-photographer friends have a Spottie or K1000 in their closets. They were in production for many, many years. The MZ-S was pretty short lived, coming as it did at the beginning of the digital revolt.
