I've only had mine for 2 months and no problems yet. I'll admit I don't find the report cited below promising. Any product has a certain number of lemons, and I haven't heard of anyone else having AF motor problems. The most common problem I've heard was that in the early batches of the MZ-S the auto-rewind was too sensitive and it would rewind a roll in the middle. Pentax has supposedly fixed that in later batches. I've heard of no other "consistent" problem that was experienced by a large number of users.

What problems have you had? Software glitches. New AF motor. This was a mecahinal problem - the drive axle didn't really couple well with the lens. However, the motor and drive shaft came in one bundle, so they replaced the whole motor assembly. My camera eventually started to stop down by itself constantly so they gave me a new body. Unfortunatly, the exposure compensation lock now only work for overexposure on this my second MZ-S. P�l - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
