jimvanson Posted April 13, 2001 Share Posted April 13, 2001 Has anyone tried the new Autofocus 35mm lens for the 645n? If so how does it compare to the present manual focus version? If not does anyone know what size filters the new lens will take? I want a 35 for my n but am getting tired of waiting for the new version. Thanks...jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayn Posted April 16, 2001 Share Posted April 16, 2001 I wonder if those specs are accurate. They increased the filter diameter from 77mm to 82mm without changing the maximum aperture (mistake on Pentax's part IMO, it's the only 645 lens that takes those huge filters). The minimum aperture went down to f/32 (which will be nice if it can keep decent image quality at that aperture). Also, isn't this lens closer to a 21mm in 35mm format? I might be wrong, but I seem to remember the old one being equivalent to a 21mm (new specs say it's 23mm). I also have been waiting for this lens, and am a little disappointed they didn't make it a f/2.8, like they did with the 150mm. At least then I could justify buying those 82mm filters.
