I am working with a Jinbei Freelander + RD400 head for a few weeks and I am very pleased especially regarding the very moderate price tag (around 300 Euros) from a NL webstore. Recycling time at ful power about 3s, accuracy about 0.1 f-stop, which is fine for me. Here are a few pictures of the equipment

Unfortunately, while the RD head is still available, the Freelander kit is sold out at th moment.

Unfortunately, as I read on flickr, shipping to the UK is 50 Euros. If you are interested, I would also recommend to write them a mail first when they expect the items to be back in stock - can take quite a while sometimes. However, the shop is reliable, bought quite a lot of Jinbei stuff there over the last one and a half year.
