Hello, Forum
My MZ-S port covers have finally succumbed to rubber reversion and become little more than goo. To keep the contacts on the bottom plate covered I'd resorted to leaving the grip attached all the time. Of course, this eliminates one of my favorite physical qualities of the camera - its compactness.
My partner copied/designed some replacements for 3D printing the grip contacts port, grip latch port, and remote shutter port. After several many attempts with both resin and filament TPU filament seems to have the best combination of flexibility and durability.

The portions of the pieces not shown are more or less the original shapes since that's what keeps them in place.

The round cap in the photo is an earlier version of resin that had poor durability.

Baking bread, High Atlas, Morocco, September 1997. Z-1p with smc Pentax-FA* 1:2 24mm IF AL on Kodak Ektacolor Pro Gold 400 (GPY) film. I posted this before years ago but this is a new and better scan. The tripod I used here is still living in the High Atlas and we meet every couple of years.

It’s mine now - and I don’t think I’ll be regretting the transaction.
Handy little camera - it’s currently loaded with 800 speed color film for some exercise in early spring weather - which was ranging between dark snowfall and bright sunlight today

Here's one of the better shots from a roll of old Fujicolor 200 I finished off in 2021 and just got developed/scanned this year.
Pentax ME Super
50mm lens with Circular Polarizer
I made a similar photo with my K5 and used the DSLR to meter for the film shot.

Okay, I think this is the literal last photo I can upload on my 4MB allowance. I'm working on my portfolio site as we speak.
This was last year's eclipse where my house was in the path of totality. Shot on my Minolta SRT-101 and 200/3.5, on Kentmere 100 at 1/500th of a second at f/16. Handheld looking through the viewfinder with eclipse glasses on. I shared this to Instagram as I'd not seen other film shots from that eclipse and because I'm not appeasing the algorithm it never got the exposure I feel it should have.

It's great to see some Harman Phoenix samples in this thread and I hope some more will come along.
I'm shooting some Phoenix at the moment, and I have to say that I really like the examples with it I've seen online so far. Its look reminds me of the cheap no-brand E6 slide films that I used back in the 80s when I was short of cash and couldn't afford Kodachrome. And I actually took some of my all-time favourite photos with those technically dreadful films, with their weird colours and excessive grain.
I'm metering at ISO 125 and treating it exactly the way I would one of those old E6 films: assuming a very narrow dynamic range and exposure latitiude and expecting the shadows to go to solid black. (Yes, I know it's a negative film, not slide film, but it looks like it's more slide film like in character.) I'm really looking forward to seeing how it comes out, but I'm trying to be fair and only using Phoenix in light that I think will suit its character. So it will probably take a few weeks to get through a roll.:)

I just finished up a video series showing the repair of a Pentax MZ-3. You can find it here.
Pentax MZ-3 Repair - YouTube
It's pretty long, but if you just want to see the heart of the repair, understand exactly what breaks in this camera and what the consequences are, check out Part 3. Or if you're just curious about what's inside one of these cameras and how the mechanisms are designed, I take some time explaining that as well. Hope you like.
