Any Dynax 7 available for loan?

[Flare]

Well, was thinking about my friend's wedding shoot, with the release of 7D uncertain, I'm seriously thinking of shooting my friend's wedding in film. The A1's poor ISO 800 performance and relatively slower AF, I think it'll be too much of a challenge and risk for an event this important. (And no, I can't Manual focus fast enuff with my x700)

Just wondering if any kind soul might be willing to release his Dynax 7 along with a 28ish - 75ish lens for loan for a couple of days around 26th of Nov? And any iso 800/1600 film to recommend? Maybe I may just use my friend's pentax SLR, but then I don't have an external flash for it...

Anyway, just considering the options at this moment

I do have a spare 700si you can borrow, but not my Dynax 7 as I need it for myself.

BTW, why do you need a 800 film for wedding, especially if you are using flashlight?

U dun need ISO800/1600 unless no flash is allowed. I could lend you my 505si plus the 3500xi flash if u want and a 17-35mm Sigma EX. I need the Dynax 7 myself.

Hee, my pentax doesn't have external flash mah...


Thanks for the help guys. I'll keep the offer and option in mind, and continue waiting for the 7D.

Thanks for the offers, really appreciate all the helps. I'll contact you if things are confirmed. I already have a 3600 and a 5600 flash, so I think i only need a camera and lens. Thank you banyak banyak banyak~

From the other thread, seems that the 7D will be on sale by 25th, The wedding is on the 26th, only 1 day to get use to the cam before the shoot... I have extra batteries from the A1, charging of batteries won't be a problem, rather the problem will be me with a unfamiliar camera... So, well, if I need to use an unfamilar camera, let it be a 7D. It'll be a great opportunity to test the camera and provide you guys here with some kind of review. ;p
And I'll have my A1 as backup when things goes bad.

(And damn, I have to jump in early and bare the high price and avoid all the 'Price reduction of the 7D!' threads)

Provide a review of Zone Matching if you can.

Cheers!
