Sounds as if you got a great feal even if the camera needs a routine servicing (usually a good idea with any second-hand camera purchase). Even though I do most of my shooting with the MZ-S and PZ-1p these days, I love the MX and have sworn never to be without at least one in my collection. It's a real gem; my "carry around with me all the time just in case" camera. It's also the one I use whenever I'm packing light. Stop me now before I keep babbling on about this camera! -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com Photography and writing
