Shen Hao 45's: where are they?

[Robert Crigan]

Hi
I met Mr.Zhang of Shen Hao at Photokina and was impressed by his cameras. I want to buy a 45 but am having trouble finding someone to sell me one.
I live in Melbourne and there is not yet an Australian importer. Emails to the Shen Hao address go unanswered and Badger Graphics in the US is out of stock.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Robert, Melbourne

Hi Robert, you could try Robert White in the UK. They do have some stock.
I have a Shen TFC/I which is a copy of the Ebony 45s and am very happy with it.
I am considering getting a PTB or the 45 folder.

Hi Robert,

I sent you a PM.

I just bought a PTB 4x5. The View Camera Store in the US ordered it for me. It took about a month. I'm very happy with it.

Robert,

What email address are you using? I've had 2 Shen's delivered direct from the factory to Melbourne, all done by direct email to Mr Zhang.

Also, I think there's a distributor in QLD. Can't remember any more than that...

[Robert Crigan]

Thanks for the leads, guys. Unfortunately the model I want (HZX 45 AII) is the model that Badger Graphics lacks.
The email addresses I've tried for Shen Hao are zhangfmli@vip.sina.com and stephen.shenhao@gmail.com
If they were monitored I'd expect a reply after a month.

Top one's the one I use.

Also, have a look here (the Aussie seller):

Robert, I bought an HZX45-IIA from Studio Gear two years ago. Quick service and I would recommend them.

Robert, I've just returned from a week in Switzerland. Took my HZX45-IIA with me (not too heavy to carry on the train from France), and it proved to be light and very easy to use.

This was taken on Säntis, at the top of the Swiss Alps. . . I'm very happy to have this one in my répertoire!

Lovely photo of a lovely camera! At last some Shen Hao stock has arrived and I ordered my HZX from The View Camera Store last week. Eagerly waiting. I expect my Nagaoka 45 and 810 will take a back seat while I learn to use the Shen Hao. Some heavy-duty portrait sessions coming up. Thanks for all your help,guys!
