Well, for no good reason I've been keeping one eye open for a while hoping to find one of the mz/zx series cameras in working shape, and I just picked one up off fleabay (seller 'shutterblade') for very little money in assured excellent condition. I liked the idea of the zx-10 because in contrast to some of the others, it has the un-crippled lens mount and is suitable for use with K/M lenses.
Of course, it wasn't in working shape. Just almost, just close enough that I have no doubt it looked fine to the seller when tested without film.
I ran a quick test roll through in advance of leaving feedback, and found that the autowinder is hit and miss. About half the frames on the roll overlap each other by various amounts up to about 1/3 frame.
I've tossed an email to the seller asking what can be done. I won't return it under the usual arrangement, because return shipping will cost me about the same as the purchase price. If I keep it and eat the small loss, I can tear it apart and maybe learn a thing or two.
Has anyone heard of this particular symptom on this or similar models? Any known fix?
edit - I see I'm not the only one who has asked this question...
