I recently bought a TK45, I have coveted one for a few years and was delighted to have finally got one. Unfortunately I find it too heavy as I hike long distances with it, also as I hate checking camera gear it is way too heavy to carry on! so it has to go for something lighter.

I am looking to replace with a woodie, Chamonix or Shen maybe so if someone has a trade in mind let me know. It needs to be less than 2kg and with full movements inc shift, I really liked my Tachi and only sold it as it had no shift.

The TK has standard and bag bellows and the focus hood, it is in great condition. Pics to those that may be interested. As with the Tachi, if someone wants a trip to the Highlands to try you are more than welcome.

£1000+p&p.

They're pretty much the same as the Chamonix but with a wooden base instead of the more rigid Carbon... have heard that they're slightly inferior to the Chamonix but don't quote me.

Thanks for the reply guys.
Aender, yes I saw that but as it will exchange out at £370ish and Robert White do it for £425+Vat its about the same once shipping and import taxes etc are added.

Paul, that is the Shen I was refering to in my original post, gotta agree re the Chamonix looking a prettier camera but I am not sure that the CF bed wouldmake that much of a difference in practical use.

Thanks again

Gari

What I can't work out is that the Chamonix costs £522 + £50 shipping + any import duties direct from China... how can this Shen Hao version be cheaper?

Lower costs or less profit!
