Hi Bill, Adray Camera on Big Beaver near Dequindre has a fair selection of Pentax stuff. The guy at the counter told me they're going to get the MZ-S. I keep asking for it in stores and act surprised and dismayed when they say they don't have one. I'm not going to buy one, but I do enjoy tweaking our local dealers a bit. Paul
