For the most part, it appears to be quite comparable to the Tachihara.. slightly shorter bellows, more movements, extra pound and a half of weight. > Make sure the wood in the Shen Hao is hardwood (one website > mentioned teak, but that was a consumer review, so who knows if I've read from many sources, including Badgergraphic.com (sole reseller) that it is in fact teak. > sure that the wood has been dried naturally, not kiln dried, as That I don't know about, will have to keep that in mind. That's it for the off topic, and for the ontopic: I convinced a coworker to buy herself a ZX-L. Its a nice camera, I finally actually saw it. She was comparing it with some sort of Canon Rebel (2000? G? not sure), which she said felt "cheap" compared to the L. It came with the FA28-80 3.5-5.6 zoom lens. Is this the cheap lens everyone seems to dislike so much? I'd feel bad if she got a crappy lens with it, although she does have some lenses left over from her old ME Super. Was also wondering what general consenous was of the old FA35-80 zoom lens.. -- http://www.infotainment.org "The destructive character is cheerful." - Walter Benjamin - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
