Have you ever compared it to a Shen Hao? I was giving thought to both of
them for awhile, and the SHen has better movements, while the Tachihara is
about a pound and a half lighter.

Feel free to respond off list. :)

-gfen (who's refinishing his speed graphic, it would probably draw scorn
from someone who'd recognize it as an SG, now, but to a layman it looks
like a beautiful antique camera [well, almost, i have to repaint the metal
drop bed])
(he also just got an 8 1/2" commercial ektar, and realized the lens
sitting and collecting dust is a 4 3/8" WA dagor)
(he's quite proud of all these things)

It is a 4x5 field camera, made of the finest Japanese cherry
wood, with gold plated brass fittings.
It is both a pleasure to use, and to see.

Re: Most Used Body Survey Results UPDATE 17

2002-08-09 Thread Keith Whaley

In this count, "update 17," the Pentax ME is missing entirely, and
there are only 61 menbers listged as having contributed. The post I
just read previous to this had 42 MEs listed, and had 473 members!
What's going on?
the other Subject title was: Bodies Survey Results UPDATE 178

Isn't a survey listing the Pentax camera bodies the list members own
and use most, all the same thing, regardless of title?
If not, what am I missing?
