MZ-S came in today. I can see why people love it.
I can't bring myself to part with mine, even though I consider it
extremely unlikely I'll ever put another roll of film through it.
I've still got a PZ-1p (and a couple of MXs) if I feel the urge
to shoot film (and some Royal Gold 25 in a box in the freezer).
In some ways, I'd like to keep mine just as a testament to mechanical
art (the same reason I own some obsolete firearms ... they're just
simply beautiful in their workmanship). The MZ-S were truly beautiful
machines. On the other hand, they fetch very attractive prices on the
open market, I'm told. If I could trade it for a grand or so, I might
find I could get over the loss. With the battery grip attached, and the
FA* 200/2.8 or F* 300/4.5 in position, it's like an extension of both my
arm and my vision. It's all very visceral, to me at least.
