alex_j Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I've just purchased a Pentax 645... first medium format camera for me... with75mm 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'sPentax K-Mount Page would be good.<br><ahref="http://www.naturfotograf.com/lens_surv.html">http://www.naturfotograf.com/lens_surv.html</a><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 shouldbe able to use both the Pentax 645 MF lenses and the later AF lenses from the P645N (in MF mode!) and there is also a Pentax 67 lens adapter, but some thingsdon't seem clear.<p>For example... this page.<br><ahref="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 Viewof 13.5, while the SMC Pentax-FA* 645 300mm f/4 ED [iF] AF is listed as havingan 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 seenoffered for sale either... further adding to the confusion. I'm not looking toget a long tele like the 300mm right now, but I'm hoping there might be a betterguide to the Pentax 645 lenses than this.<p>Thanks<p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee_shively Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 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.
