First reaction is the MZ-S is pretty good. Don't have a hard copy of the manual, so I have to read up on the pdf copy some more to discover all of it's features. (I usually like to carry the manual around for the first few outings to try new stuff out) Just shot the first roll with aperture priority and manual focus to make things simple. Most of my lenses are MF, so will just shoot that way for all lenses.

Yes - I'd agree. Seems like the MZS is dense enough to warrant printing the manual - something i've meant to do but never have. I've forgotten how to turn off the focus confirmation beep, for instance.

And currently (I'm sure this is adjustible) I've it set to not allow shutter fire without focus-confirmation, but I've just left it on since it's sort of fun having an essentially "catch-in-focus" feature available.

That looks lovely. The weather here is extremely dreary right now.

There's a certain 3D/reality about these two photos that I really like.

Thank you! I have to credit the excellent 55mm f/1.8. That lens is truly magical to me.

It's only after I found out this optical formula was available in K-mount, that I bought the LX to replace my Spotmatic.
