| The only focussing rail I can find is £240 which I find unbelieveable considering its a piece of plastic to run a camera along. I want cheap crap one, but there doesnt seem to be any other price apart from extreme. Anyone bought one in the uk? Theres nothing on ebay at all. |

ReallyRightStuff has some basic rails for around 100. Then they have all the neat attachements for them as well and of course the full tilt 500+ model is there as well. But the CB-18, 18" rail was 125.00, 6" rail was 65.00, 4" - 55.00
See if this site helps at all.
A precision one might be somewhat difficult, but just a plain old rail doesn't look too hard to build.
EDIT: to, too, two - get them straight...

Yeh Ive seen that site when I searched, but its USA, not uk. There prooving most unpopular in the uk. I have now found one for £90, and me being poor I wont be getting one.
Actually yes perhaps I should go to the garage and produce my own! It might even be fun! |

| Bogen / Manfrotto make the 3419 Micro Positioning plate which is a focusing rail ( about $90 here in the States). I would however, check eBay for a Pentax or better yet Novoflex rail, especially since your in Europe. The RRS rails are the best made but if you want a focusing one it wil be over $300 US. |

| Yeh I have checked ebay for the novoflex and pentax, ill have to keep checking and eventually get one. Until then, I think a refresher bar and celotape may make the perfect rail |
