Backroads of Galway again. I'm actually not sure what this structure is. Lubitel 166B and Lomo 100.

Portra 400/800 is usually my go to, but it's getting quite expensive and I actually want to shoot more, not less.

1/8000 is awesome. I'm always amazed that the Z-1 has a higher maximum shutter speed than some current digital mid-range models.
I'd love to get the MZ-S again though. At 1/6000 it's fast enough when using a forgiving film like Portra I think.

I hadn't realised the MZ-S only went to 1/6000s, I'd assumed it was 1/8000s like other flagship models. For a while I was on the lookout for an MZ-S but then I read that even this top-of-the-range model suffers the cheap plastic cog in the mirror mechanism and is prone to breaking.

I'm enjoying the two Z-1s I've bought in the last year, I just wish there was a grip to use them with AA batteries instead of expensive lithiums.

I got a cheap Z-1 with a remote trigger and such, but it’s jammed on me twice now. Just won’t advance the film anymore. I unloaded in the dark and reloaded. Worked perfectly for about half a year and then did it again. Same routine. So it’s not really a camera I can rely on. I have to say I enjoyed shooting on the MZ-S more. I bought one from someone on the forum but unfortunately it got stolen not long after..

About the cog: supposedly the models that start their serial with 4 and up are with a metal one. There’s a post somewhere on the forum about it. Asahi Photo in the UK does replacements when they break, but they use a nylon cog I heard.

I just bought an FA77 so I’m good for a while, but my Christmas gift to myself this year will be an MZ-S again :-)
