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.
My feelings exactly. I agree on all three points. Part of me says I should sell it because I'm not using it and the other part says I should keep it because it's a thing of beauty. I went through something similar with my LX. I sold it and then ended up buying another one to replace it because I felt I should still have one. Pretty stupid really. I held onto the MZ-S because I wanted a good AF camera to go with my limited lenses, but I still didn't use the camera - which meant I didn't use the lenses either! I haven't used the 43mm in years (three at least). It's even longer since I ever used the 360 FGZ flash -- Wendy Beard Ottawa Canada
