To sum things up: MZ-5n will probably do just fine in Africa, but a backup body would be advisable. Always a good advise and what I would do. In this case, will not fit budget.
Some (Shel et al) thinks all mechanical is the way, I agree. Unfortunately she will not have enough time to learn everything she would need to know to be comfortable on her own. Thank you for the AA-grip advice, will be forwarded. Thanks also for every other advice they will be kept in mind until I meet my friend again. Many thanks, Petter Sk�ne, Sweden -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] F�r Petter Jarbo Skickat: den 22 maj 2002 07:37 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] �mne: MZ5n in rough environments? Hi list! A friend of mine is going to Africa this fall and she is in great need of a new camera. She asked me for advice and I suggested a MZ5n with some nice lenses. My question to the allknowing list is, will the MZ5n handle three months in darkest Africa (desert/steppe, not jungle)? The MZ-S would of course be better but she's on a budget of US$600-700 and she's not that a good friend that I lend her mine MZ-S :-) I might mention that this is here first SLR. I don't think the LX would fit here all that well. Thanks! Petter Sk�ne, Sweden - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
