None of you people are helping. Stop trying to make this easy!!
I actually saw that Crown listing here, D-Matt. It's not helping, either.
I was reading someone's review....maybe Ken Rockwell? - where he said he accidentally knocked off the focus lock knob, and was grateful because it took off some weight. Weight is important to me, since I've already reached the stage where I'm wrapping my knees and popping NSAIDs on long hikes. So I always struggle with saving a few ounces here and there vs. durability and cost. I'll save and pay more in some cases, if I think the real payoff will be when I'm clambering up some hill and don't blow my knees out.
I'm still drawn to that Tachihara, cause it's sooo pretty.... probably a chick thing.
I don't have to really be logical, do I? :mrgreen:
