Excepting the MZ-S of course. The funny thing is that the other MZ's (5n in particular) are such nice cameras...if the MZ-5n was made of metal people would be freaking flipping out. It's basically a highly spec'd early 80's MF camera that happens to have AF and is made of plastic. I still love it's interface. Another thing...I've dropped it several times but have never broken it. Plastic isn't particularly cuddly or inspiring, but it bears an impact as well as anything else. > > As to marketing, Pentax has done NO marketing that I have > seen around > northern California concerning the MZ-S or Limited Lenses.
