Some months ago I asked to the list for uses of a backup body. I got several responses (thank you) and, logically, the most repeated was the obvious meaning of backup 'to be used when the main body is broken'. This was the less important aspect for me then (actually, I wanted to ask for second body instead of backup body, with your answers I realised that it is not exactly the same). But now, my MZ-5n is in the official service 'accused' of causing film scratches. Yesterday I was told that they are waiting for a spare part and that, of course (*) I won't have it repaired until september. (*) Spain is literally closed in August. Everybody is in vacations (including me :-) ) Conclusion: 'MZ-M warm up, you are going to play the second half' :-) Now I know how important is to have backup body, happy to receive all your set of lenses (in my case even battery grip and cable switch). Otherwise, my participation of the next 8-10 PUGs would be threatened !! (no Pentax equipment for my vacation trip) :-) Jaume __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
