The MZ-S has a very precise transport system, needed to data imprinting. That's why you need to be careful while inserting the film. That's also why the MZ-S gives you, all the time, 37 frames out of 36 exposure film. Z-1p gives 37 frames too so I don't think it is particular pr

I've had similar problems with my PZ1P & PZ1. Only realized the cause after sending both to Pentax for repairs (transport motors were replace etc) & still having the issue.
