That's cutting off your nose to spite your face. The good reasons for buying an MZ-S have nothing to do with the cruddy little onboard flash. Mine hasn't failed (and my MZ-S was a very early one; so early that it had to go back to Pentax to have the frame advance problem fixed), but I rarely use flash, and even more rarely rely on a built-in one. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
