Equipment Type: SLR
Equipment Brand: Pentax
Equipment Model: MZ-3 AutoFocus Film SLR Camera - A Classic from Pentax
Price (S$): $250
Description:
This is another classic film camera by Pentax. The MZ-3 is probably the best combination of manual and auto film camera. It looks like a classic manual camera, while it got many useful features for an auto focus camera. This camera is very rare and hard to find, and a much sort after one due to its classic look and easy to use. This camera is a great match to your FA Limited lenses too

Selling the camera because I just got another Z1 camera, and still have several manual film cameras.

Although it looks and works almost exactly like the MZ-5n (ZX-5n), it actually has the following improvement over the MZ-5n (ZX-5n) (Source from Bojidar Dimitrov's Pentax K-Mount Page):
1. Faster max shutter speed (1/4000s vs 1/2000s)
2. Faster AF
3. Better battery life
4. Improved mirror box
5. Probably some other hidden improvement too.

Other than some minor marks on the top of built-in flash (as shown in some photos below), the camera looks and works like new. It's very clean inside and out, viewfinder is super clean and clear, film compartment is as clean as new. I've just shot one roll of color film through it a couple of weeks back, all 36 shots came out sharp and well exposed.

The camera comes w/ a body cap, a brand new never used original Pentax shoulder strap and two CR2 batteries (not shown in the photos, but they are inside the camera). It also comes w/ a Cable Switch F in mint condition too.

Here is the actual camera selling:
