MZ-S in Toronto

[Pat White]

Well, Mississauga, actually. Just got my hands on the MZ-S yesterday at Just Cameras in Mississauga (Dundas & Dixie) and was very impressed!  It really gives a feeling of quality and precision, partly due to the sharper angles on parts of the body.  It seems to focus with less hunting than my MZ-5n, but still has the easy-to- lose eyecup design.  I mention that because I just bought my third eyecup at Pentax Canada.  Silicone seal doesn't keep them on for long, so I switched to a rubber band, which usually works, but gets in the way when reloading.  In case you're wondering why mine keep popping off, it's when I have the 70-200 Sigma with lenshood attached that just fits in the bag.  If I'm in a hurry, I may not notice that the eyecup's partially dislodged.  Anyone else had this problem?   Anyway, back to the MZ-S.  The price at Just Cameras is a pretty steep $1699.95 Cdn!  On looking around, everything in that shop seemed pricy relative to downtown Toronto prices, so when the downtown shops get their delivery (they haven't seen the camera yet, and don't even have a price for it), the price may be better, hopefully.  Pentax Canada should be getting their second shipment very soon, but still no word on the silver body.  Has anyone seen a silver body yet?   Pat White
