Just got my eBay mint MX this afternoon. After careful inspection,
everything works fine, except the 1s shutter speed is lesser than 1s (more
like 0.7s when compared to my Z-1p). Every other shutter appears fine. But
the interesting thing is, my other MX seems to have slightly faster 1s
Does anyone know why the newer MX has lower serial number? Thx again!

I don't see much point to using slide film at that speed. I would
consider the Fuji 800 or 1600 stuff (Aaron probably knows the exact
name - Nxx - I wish they were a little easier to remember) or consider
Kodak 800 Portra or Supra.

Alan,
Mechanical shutters can be off by as much as twenty or twenty-five
percent and still be considered within spec. Usually the actual
shutter speeds are closer to marked shutter speeds in the middle range,
and off by the greater amounts at the highest and lowest shutter
speeds. Long ago I
Why do you want to use a zoom? If you know you'll be some distance, why
not use a faster, sharper prime? Then you might even be able to use a
slower film, or use a faster film with a greater DOF or faster shutter
speed. What is this penchant people have for zooms?
