On the other hand it's almost the same thing as MZ/ZX-5N. I got my MZ-3 only because that was the only way of getting the 43/1.9 initially. If it had been possible I would have bought the 43 and MZ-5N separately, I never wanted the quartz back anyway. 1/2000 is definitely fast enough for me, and I couldn't see the practical difference between 1/100 and 1/125 for flash sync.
Anyway, I've been extremely pleased with the camera. Until last autumn, that is. It was exposed to moisture in the rain forest in Malaysia for one day, went dead but woke up two days later in Kuala Lumpur. Back home I sent it to Pentax, who found damages inside and gave it the verdict "costs more to fix than buying a new body". It works, but how long? Can't blame it on the camera though, I should have been more careful. I'll probably start saving for a MZ-S AND a proper camera bag... > -----Original Message----- > From: Brendan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: den 28 februari 2002 20:46 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: The most under-rated Pentax body > > > The MZ-3 is a very under rated camera, I should Know > :-) > > --- Collin Brendemuehl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Might help if the let us have it! > > (A ZX-3 it would be.) > > > > Collin > > > > ------------------------------------------ > > From: Peter Smekal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > >What body do you think doesn't get the press it > > deserves? > > > > Must be the MZ3.
