Well, I agree. We have had an MZ-5n (that's the name of the body on our
side of the pond) for about a year, and it is excellent. The same goes for
the MZ-S, which I recently acquired. I consider this to be the "modern
OM2s/p", and it is really nice to operate. There are probably some
quirks, but I have had the MZ-S for a few days only so .
Thus far, the biggest quirk is, that it doesn't take Zuikos...
