No, it does not use the same materials as the MZ-S itself, and the system
for mounting the BG-10 to the MZ-S is new and totally different from the
rest of the MZ-series.

Many thanks for your comments:

As you state, this shot may be better classified as a landscape, or, maybe, as
'architecture in landscape'.
The strenght of the shot is in its colors: I think the autumn trees become
very well the buildings.

My vote goes for the new Portra series from Kodak. Available in neutral
and vivid colour, it is fine grained with fabulous colour. A close second
would be the new Agfa stuff, whose name currently escapes me, which is
extremely sharp and accurate colours. I really like all of Agfa's stuff; its

Hmmm, perhaps metering is working properly, but the auto exposure connection

Check to insure that the shutter speed is what you set it at in manual.

Bad news is that the MTF tests do not cover any screw mount or even M-series lenses.
They mainly cover FA, F, some A-series lenses and most for the 645 and 67.

Hi All
Sorry for the interruption to your regular
discussions.
In the past few months that I have begun to more
seriously use my
mechanical cameras, I have come to realise that
given the age of many,
they are in need of work. And the more I got into
it, the more interested I became.
If they were able to do $800, that mean they could still make enough profit
at that price point. I would expect the price will drop below $800
eventually, if you wait long enough (1 year?). Besides, I don't think the
MZ-S would be a big hit in the US.
