I put a few rolls through the camera and have figured out what that

IIRC the broken off piece wraps around the first roller, so both press

another part got lost when I opened the camera.

After reading all the responses to my earlier message I've decided to
put the MZ-S up for sale. I just learned that the new program at the
arts school where I had hoped for a teaching job has been postponed by
at least 6 months, so I'm going to be getting by on fairly minimal

struggle. *sigh* Man, I love that camera. The MZ-S is awesome.
But it had been used only ONCE since going digital, and that was

Mark,
I would guess $475 for an MZ-S recently on ebay.
Certainly not more than $575.

Much as I love my MZ-S, I've noticed that I just don't use it any
more. I shoot digital for the most part. When I shoot film, it's
almost always B&W, which means I use the 645. And on the rare

I can't help you with your question, Mark, because I think I am going
the opposite direction. Almost a year ago, I bought an *ist DS, and it
is a really nice, useful camera. On the other hand, I already had an
MZ-S. Instead of selling it, I have bought a second one, and another
