Can the CT60-1 be dedicated to the MZ-S with a SCA Adaptor, or am I better off
getting a new Pentax Flash for it?
If I get a SCA adaptor, which one would I need?

Any pitfalls of doing this? I can apprciate more grain but
can live with that.

Just an addition to this thread is the e-film technology.
In short, (e)-film is a roll of film that isn't really film.
It is a digital image capturing device that fits into
your existing 35mm SLR camera body.
It works just like 35mm film, except that there is no film. The

So a visit to the big city resulted in my car being trashed and
my new (christmas) MZ30, 28-200 APO, 75-300 APO
2X APO convertor, Metz CT-45 Flash and a host of other
filters and gadgets all gone.
Insurance will pay up to $350.00 if I pay the $400.00 excess.
OK, it was an expensive lesson...
