Well, I've got film loaded in one of mine, but I haven't shot a frame in about a year. I really should shoot off that roll sometime, but then I'll have to get some more developer, and I've just been too lazy since HC110 has become unavailable from the local stores. graywolf wrote: I guess my 2 MXen do not count as I still use them.

Re: Mouldering film camera survey
Looks like MX is the most loved Pentax as there are 36 of them unused yet not sold in members' posession. There are also 41 Spotmatics and 36 ME series camera unused but it accounts for several different models I suppose.

Re: Mouldering film camera survey
They're running $5-600 for a copy in good condition, about double the cost of an F100 or EOS 3 and almost 3x the cost of a Minolta 7, all of which are more capable bodies of similar vintage. I suspect this has a lot to do with availability, as far as I'm aware, MZ-S bodies were never produced in great numbers, and even Minolta 7's are far more common (Although that's the only recent Minolta you can really say that for). -Adam On 12/9/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If a used MZ-S is expensive, then I'm wrong.

Also a 28mm 2.8 on the same day, although I can't remember the price of the lens. Drives, winders, more bodies have come and gone since then, but the camera and lens (and a winder) sit retired on a shelf with a couple of other cameras.

Re: Mouldering film camera survey
None, In fact I've only got 2 35mm cameras at present, a Nikon F2a and a Minolta Maxxum 7. The llatter was part of a planned move to Sony, but my dissatisfaction with Minolta/Sony metering (Their matrix meter is useless) put a hold on that. So the Maxxum 7 is for sale ($200 w/ 35-70 f4 if anyone's interested, I've also got a 24-105 f3.5-4.5 D and 28/2.8 for it) I sold off my last Pentax film gear (A Spotmatic a Chinon CM-3) to pay for my DS a couple months ago. I'm still shooting film, just not 35mm much these days. Quite happy with my Mamiya 645's though. -Adam William Robb pisze: Here is a sad survery.

Just a Spotmatic, a P50 and the MZ-S. Other than that I use 6x6 cameras like Pentacon Six, and folders like Agfa Isolette, Voigtländer Perkeo, Agilux, Ensign etc. And of course my Leica CL, Aires 35-V and a few others. Quite frankly I use K10D as my number 1 and my *ist D or Pentacon Six's as number 2 (6x6 for group portraits)..

Re: Mouldering film camera survey
No such cameras here. I use one MX as my primary camera and another one as a backup so I suppose it doesn't qualify as a mouldering. The only mouldering Pentax body around is my *ist DS which, although I like it very much, is only occasionally used for some product shots. But most of the 2006 and in the first three months of 2007 I was using digital almost exclusively. Maybe a thread like yours will encourage some members here to list those unused bodies and accessories as FS items?

It was my first K-mount body (thirty years ago - how time flies ...), and I was lucky enough to pick up a New In Box motor drive about ten years ago. My second MX was bought purely as a spare in case the first one dies. I'm not so attached to the other bodies - perhaps I'll sell the MZ-S (I doubt if I'd get enough for the PZ-1p to make it worth selling). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Mouldering film camera survey
I haven't used my ES and ES II cameras, except to exercise them with no film in them. The camera I use infrequently is a PZ1-p. I still use my 645 a lot because I like the large negative. Jim A.
