Pentax 645 lens guide question

I've just purchased a Pentax 645... first medium format camera for me... with

75mm F2.8 and I'm looking for a site with a guide to Pentax 645 lenses.

Something similar to Bjørn Rørslett's Nikon lens pages or Bojidar Dimitrov's

Pentax K-Mount Page would be good.<br>

<a href="http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/">http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/</a><br>

<p>

Or don't these sort of pages exist for the Pentax 645?

<p>

I've done some searching and learnt a few basic things, like I believe I should

be able to use both the Pentax 645 MF lenses and the later AF lenses from the P

645N (in MF mode!) and there is also a Pentax 67 lens adapter, but some things

don't seem clear.

<p>

For example... this page.<br>

<a

href="http://www.pentax.ca/film/mf/645lenses/645_manualfocus.php">http://www.pentax.ca/film/mf/645lenses/645_manualfocus.php</a>

<p>

The SMC Pentax-A* 645 300mm f/5.6 ED [iF] is listed as having an Angle of View

of 13.5, while the SMC Pentax-FA* 645 300mm f/4 ED [iF] AF is listed as having

an Angle of View of 6.6. That can't be right?

<p>

The second one doesn't look much like the Pentax 645 300mm f4 MF I've seen

offered for sale either... further adding to the confusion. I'm not looking to

get a long tele like the 300mm right now, but I'm hoping there might be a better

guide to the Pentax 645 lenses than this.

<p>

Thanks

Try a search on this very forum. Lots of subjective opinions scattered among the threads. Good luck !

I have a page on <a href="http://members.aol.com/dcolucci/p67ss.htm">Pentax 67 lenses</a>, but I dont know of any similiar on the 645 lenses. If someone can help, I can publish a 645 page...anyone ?

First of all, congratulations on getting a P645. I'm not aware of any source for the information you're trying to find. I've been using P645 equipment for a while and I just had to dig and search for information. Some information that may or may not be helpful can be found here http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/g645.html#pentax645 and here http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/pentax645.html

 

Searching the posts on the P645 here on pnet is also pretty good.

Not a complete list of 645 lenses... but it is something

 

some of the AF line

only a few of the MF line

duh on my part... sorry, I had not recently read the opening post on this.

 

Sorry for the repetition of websites.
