Thank you for replying. I was able to send the camera to an old time film camera tech and he fixed it for me. I shot my first roll of slide film and am expecting them this week. I am eager to see the results with the limited lenses that I used with the MZ-S. Seemed like a perfect marriage of lens to film body. I really appreciate your advice. Eric said he couldn't do anything but I found someone in Jersey. Working fine now.

Ahh...the MZ-S I just received one last week that I bid on from EBTH. I was excited to use it. The last Pentax film camera that seems to fetch a lot of money. Unfortunately for me it was untested (i really wonder about that!) and apparently there is a problem with the winding motor as the film will NOT load. Without film all the functions of the camera work. Funny thing, it came with good batteries as well as film in the chamber just not loaded. Obviously someone attempted to load film and realized it wouldn't load. DONT EVER MAKE A PURCHASE FROM EBTH. It was a very expensive lesson for me. Let me know how you like using the MZ-S

Thanks for your post.. You just saved me from writing a letter to the seller I bought the winder from suggesting there might be something wrong with it. Funny thing is when i had it on the camera with the grip I suspected it was too close for comfort. Removed the grip (in my camera bag zippered compartment) and it is working as it should.
