Robert, Yes, it certainly is very comfortable to hold and use. That was one of the selling points to me. After holding the PZ-1p's for so long, the MZ-S just fit my hand more comfortably - less strain.
The focus select is not one of the strong points on the camera. It is quite usable as long as you cradle the lens with your left hand. That puts your middle finger in a reasonable position to reach and push on the lever. Spinning the dial to select is quite easy. The hardest thing for me to discover was to pull with my thumb to spin the dial rather than push. When I push, it is quite stiff, but when I pull, it moves very easily.
