Is there an eyecup which works better than the one supplied with the camera? Will
eyecup "M" work? If so, will it fit the ZX5n also?

My advice(and I'm not a pro):
1) Buy good film.
I suggest Kodak Portra 160 NC, Fuji NPS(160), Fuji NPH(400), Fuji
Reala(100), Kodak TriX Pan(400)and Ilford HP5(400).
2) Use the equipment that you know.
3) Use a good film processor/printer.
4) You need a flash other than RTF.
Get one
What more do you want? It is hard to beat FREE. ;-)
If you want original quality shop Ebay, etc. and be prepared to pay the
price. I'm sure a majority of the manuals are "out of print".
I have found the free download of the LX manual quite useful.

way you select focus points.

I think you can get a new 5n for approx. 280 after rebate...only 40 more
than a new zx-l. I don't see buying any camera without, at the very least,
center-weighted metering. Ergonomically speaking the 5n is one of the best.
The zx-l will be hard pressed to beat it in this area.
Be advised this
I highly recommend the AF500FTZ. The guide number is 138 ft., coverage goes
as wide as 24mm, swivel head, and vari-power in manual mode. BTW KEH has one
in EX condition for $205.00. They sell for $284.00 new at B&H. I have the
