I did a model shoot last Saturday with my MZ-S and that camera is a real
pleasure to use. It focussed perfectly in the dim studio, my D200-using
buddy was impressed with the results, and the model was pleased with the 60
prints that I gave her (my cost $0.00, since the second set was free this

I'll be watching your posts with even greater interest since, as I've
mentioned before, I'm emotionally involved with the MZ-S, w/BG10

I'm optimistic about the AF-360FGZ working on the K10D..if needed.(?)

I put two ES II cameras to a new use - stereo photography. I attach both
cameras to a long bracket and place them close together so that the 50 mm
lenses are slightly over two inches apart. I use the hyperfocal method to
focus the cameras, and operate the shutters using a double-cable release.
This is nice lead into the BH Catalog that came in the mail the other
day. There are more 4x5 cameras in it than 35mm film cameras. There are
also still quite a few 120 film cameras but not as many as in the old
days. Seems that the bigger the camera the more likely it is to continue

If I'd found the MZ-S about 1998, I'd have bought it in a second. I
even considered buying one last year. But I know that I'd never use
it anymore, and will put that money towards the new 10Mpixel body
when it surfaces.

I can't help you with your question, Mark, because I think I am going
the opposite direction. Almost a year ago, I bought an *ist DS, and it
is a really nice, useful camera. On the other hand, I already had an
MZ-S. Instead of selling it, I have bought a second one, and another

Yes, of course you should sell it, you should sell it to me, very
cheaply, say for less than $100.00 I won't necessarily use it but at
least I'll put film in it.

Mark,
I would guess $475 for an MZ-S recently on ebay.
Certainly not more than $575.
I've been watching just thinking of buying one.
What did they go for when new?
William Robb
When it was new it was an $800.00 to $900.00 camera. The price fell
quite a bit soon after that but I was impressed with the price.
