I was looking for one for about 1 1/2 years. It helped that I work in a
camera store as I had the opportunity to check out every used MX that came
in on trade. I found that most had light leaks from the deteriorating foam
in the back. A few had meter problems. I had to shoot a least one roll

Hello Sid,
I do know of one that is available at a store in my area. They've had it
for a short while, but I think it's still there. I live in Vancouver
(well...sorta), but this store does have online purchasing available. Let
me find the details for you. Do you already have the NiCad Pack
The Nikon HN-2 works wonderfully. If you really want, just black out the
white Nikon writing and no one will ever know it's not Pentax...well maybe.

Hello,
I was wondering if you happened to take a photo of the MZ-S that had the
BG-10 Verticle Battery Grip attached? I have yet to see a detailed image of
both the front and the back. I believe that you may be the only one of us
blessed with the opporunity to hold this combination. If you do

Just from my observations about this thread, it sounds as though there is

anticipated that Pentax would stick their Power-Zoom contacts in the way of
Howdy...I was talking to the local Kodak rep about it. It is a -41 film and
his description was amazing, soft tones yet sharp like T400CN! I can't wait
