REPLY: You seem to base this on the assumption that MZ-S contains a shutter not optimized for durability. This is way off the truth. The MZ-S use a shutter designed for 1/8000s but tuned at 1/6000s in order to increase durability and reliability and reduce power consumption. The MZ-S is built to professional standard because it is based on a camera that was plannet to cost $8000 and designed for Pentax professional users in mind; both MF and medium format. Pål
