It's a question I've been pondering for some time so I thought I'd open it up to discussion and debate. Let's stir the pot, rock the boat, muddy the waters, etc.
Much as I love my MZ-S, I've noticed that I just don't use it any more. I shoot digital for the most part. When I shoot film, it's almost always B&W, which means I use the 645. And on the rare occasions when I *do* shoot 35mm color film, I find it's the MX I reach for. Small, light, simple, manual, unhurried, untechnological - that's what I'm looking for on those occasions. So the result is that I have this superb, ergonomic, high-tech, magnesium-bodied gem gathering dust most of the time and that bothers me. I know there are probably photographers out there who would actually *use* this camera. But I haven't been able to bring myself to sell it. Factors making me want to keep it: 1) I love the way it feels and works. 2) I probably couldn't get much for it these days. 3) It's the ultimate (in the true sense of the word) Pentax high-end film camera. The last of a thoroughbred line. I should probably look around and see what used ones sell for these days, but whether the price is high or low, it would probably make me both happy and sad...
