Any who are recommended here pretty much. I won't say who I prefer, but there are plenty of places to look. Check Shutterbug Magazine. There are three different versions I know about. The early one has a detachable lens hood. Second is the same except for the built-in lens hood. Then a recent version is made in Germany (as opposed to the previous versions in Canada) that is lighter. I think they normally sell used for about $1,600 - $1,700.
