It's too bad they don't seem to be around now. I'd like to see the MZ-S with various lenses and accessories put through it's paces. Every bookstore I go into I look for Pentax books. They always have the book with the 'older' bodies, but never anything new, and nothing like the 'Nikon System Handbook'. Unfortunate, maybe I'll switch to Nikon to get that. <g>
