I am trying to see here if i should get a zx-l for about 240 or spend
160 on repairing a zx-5n. I have other backup cams so can wait for
sometime for the zx-l to become available.
Lets see the cons and pros listing (please add to it):
Cons of mz-6/zx-l:
viewfinder magnification: 0.7x vs 0.8

I would suggest the following tests:
take shots of distant object/landscape with both lenses so that the
focus is set to infinity. If the pictures turn out out-of-focus, then
your cam body is likely to be screwed (unlikely for both lenses to be
bad). If both are in-focus, cam body is good. Also

hi
I recall some post here a few days ago mentioning about older ricoh
lenses being incompatible with modern pentax cams (like the zx-5n for
eg). I have a rikenon p 1:2 50mm lens and a 35-70mm zoom. Will they work
with my zx-5n... i dont want to put them on if they arent coming off
after that!
I posted about this before. I will be putting it on ebay later today if
no one here is interested -- if you are interested in the immaculate
original leather case alone, let me know.
It works fine. Pictures at http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~nitin/s2

1) Get my zx-5n repaired -- cost $115 + postage to keh repair center.
2) Buy a sf1n for $135 + shipping (used in good condition). I guess i

I already have another working zx-5n which i rather like. I have never
used a sf1n before. I
