Of course there's a crack! I mended it with epoxy but
it cracked again. The only (P)Z-1/1p I have seen
without a crack is one that is brand new or freshly
repaired.
<grin>
Weird that Pentax didn't fix that obvious
design flaw when they brought out the 1p.
Well, the main problem is there's not a lot of material there. It looks
like they couldn't move the battery more into the body, and I for one am
glad they did not enlarge the grip: I find the Z-1 big enough as it is.
And alumininium or magnesium for the base plate was probably too
expensive...
Anyway, a crack sounds better that a missing part, but I'll take this
off-list :o)
Incidentely, I'm hesiant to ask, but how would the
state of the base plate
of your PZ-1p be? Any cracks near the battery door?
