I "discovered" the MZ-S a couple of years after I'd already decided that film was dead. It was a lovely design and might have held me in film for another couple of years, but it was already too late to get one and enjoy it. I tried that with an MX and sold it after a year and a half having only put one or two rolls of film through it.
In terms of feel in the hand for 35mm Film SLRs, the MZ-S ranked on par for me with the Nikon F3/T and Leica R8, which are my favorites. (I never bought an R8 either: the lenses were simply too expensive for it to be practical for me. I need a wealthy dentist friend to subsidize that level of equipment purchase ... ;-) On Sat, Oct 16, 2010 at 9:04 PM, Nick Wright <[email protected]> wrote: > Film is just something different. > > I tried to go back to digital, I just couldn't ... didn't make me feel > the same way film does. > > That MZ-S, I always wanted one of those.
