Not heard of Fotolooman.. I knew of Kamera-Express, Cameranu and Konijnenberg. HAFO in The Hague was also one of my favourite shops....

But less than £1600, damn you Mike you might start costing me money

The design used on the Z-1/Z-1p grip has never been surpassed. I used my Z-1p at the weekend with no problems, apart from the fact I wished the D-BG4/5 grips had the same facility.

??? Huh That's odd isn't it? I thought the point of two bodies was to have a DIFFERENT lens on each, in order to save time changing lenses? ... Not the SAME lens on both bodies !

(I'm assuming there's a perfectly logical explanation, something unintelligibly obscure to non-

Body 1 high iso Body 2 low iso

Another option is

film camera
Ilford SFX film (will be mono)
dark red filter

not as extreme as IR but gives you a flavour - doesn't require the extreme handling proper IR film (is that still available? - and maybe since film cameras are aging they can be more prone to light leakage)

My K-3 has to go for repair. Slipped off cistern during a lunch break in Cameron, Arizona.

Camera and SA12-24 knocked (not slipped) onto floor from about 3ft - camera and lens work perfectly well but the control dial had a knock, but the button and the bit with the numbers and icons flew off in Venice in February.

I'll still have my K-5 while the K-3 is away

Arrived this morning Item as described, PZ works more smoothly than the previous copy I handled. Glass clean and well packed. Thank you Marko

Looking forward to receiving it - thanks to Lennybloke for some opinions, basically they echo Marko's comments above...this lens is intended as a companion for the Z-1p, poor bloody thing has been waiting 20 years. To find a copy without 'issues' around the PZ switch is a tall order....both of my FA280-80PZ lenses needed their switch replacing and the FA28-105 PZ lenses I have seen have had their switches done too.
