I am sucked into the "film" crazed and is looking for a new body for my collection. Currently I am using the ZX-L as my film camera. It is a great camera but I want one with the shutter speed on the dial.
I would love to have the MZ-S but it is too expensive. Originally I wanted the MZ-3 but it is impossible to find that camera for sale. I've check ebay, keh, bhphoto and adorama, no one has it for sale. So I decided to settle for the ZX-5(n) because I can find them fairly easy for about $100.
I did a little searching and found a post where they said the zx-5n has a problem with the mirror lock being stuck.

I just want to know how common is this problem. I started a new post because I didn't want to hi-jack the other two post.
