G'day Marcus You are right of course. The SFXn is a bloody great SLR. I have one in mint condition fitted with the Pentax SMC F 35-135 and the AA battery grip. It gets used for B&W shots or roaming candids at weddings etc etc. It's fitted with the Pentax Gripstrap F. This makes it handle almost as well at the PZ-1p with the grip strap FD. It is a bit loud. Once the shutter is fired, the people near to it know that the bloody camera bloke is around :-)
Hooroo. Regards, Trevor.

And the build quality is very good. The SFX-series are loud and heavy and not good looking too. I use and like a SFXn as my main camera and it has never failed so far. Maybe I have to add that I only use manual lenses, autofocus should have improved in later models like the PZ-1. But a SFXn has a lot to offer for the price you pay today IMHO, the PZ-1p body alone sold still for around $260 second hand the last time I saw one. greetings Markus >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Trevor Bailey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 9:33 AM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: RE: auto focus body recommendation solicitation >> >> >>G'day Scott. >>Go the PZ-1p. >>Fit a grip and strap (PENTAX FD). >>Bloody fantastic. >>Leaves SFXn, ZX-L, MZ-5 for dead. >> >>Hyper-program rocks... >> >>Mat screen is better than most for manual focusing.
