I’ll add that while the manual says to “add a couple extra frames” to the number to prevent overlapping frames, my MZ-S is accurate enough that I’ve done this a dozen or more times, used the same number, and I can barely see a difference in the size of the gap between frames.
I tested mine four or five times this spring when I got the camera and found it accurate, and I used it that way this past summer when I took it as my main camera to Moscow and St. Petersburg Russia. I was changing between 100, 400, and 1600 speed film without any issues. I just kept a small sharpie in the camera bag, and whenever I removed an incomplete roll I marked it on the tongue of the leader. Some of my rolls had scratched out numbers two or three times and it all worked perfectly,
