Alberto

In order to upgrade "slowly" to the new 67II I was thinking about to

start to buy the new body without the 67AEII prism, and to use instead

my Waist-Level Finder or the old TTL prism...

someone can tell me if it can works ?

Alberto

Dear friends, I'm near to buy a used 165 f4 LS, I would like to know

more about it and your experience with it.

thanks

I asked some info last week, and this is the answer :

"Alberto,

Thanks for contacting Pentax Corporation.

The information we initially received from Japan is that all 645

Lenses were to be re-released in autofocus within two years of the

introduction of the 645N. However, with the overwhelming popularity

of the 645N, additional autofocus lens production has been

unexpectedly delayed. Although we will have a full compliment of

autofocus lenses for the 645N, it is not known exactly how long the

process will take, in what order they will be released, or any

possible prices.

That said, the 120 Macro, 80-160 Zoom, and 200mm were recently

introduced at this year's PMA, and should be available by April.

Although the 150mm lens is not currently offered in autofocus, we hope

to see it by fall of this year. For further information on when these

products might be available in Italy, please contact

A.P.I.-S.p.A

Thanks again,

...by the way, A.P.I. in Italy, is no longer the rappresentant of

Pentax, due to a failure.....

The new rappresentant is the "old" division of medical instruments of

Pentax.

.....when ?? ...are there some news ????

(waiting for the 200....)

Alberto

Thank you Steve for answering !

I've just choose between 150 and 200 mm 1 year ago.

I choosed the 200 cause the minimum focusing is 2 meters, but with more (obvious) increase of size vs. the 150. (still unable to make "head-portrait" without a little extension tube...)

If I take the new 645n is for the capability to impress the data between the frames..

But the 67 II has a larger film.....

I only would like to know more about optics...

sob !! ... anyway thank you till now..

Alberto

I had the same dilemma..

I choose the 200, because they both focusing at 2 meters minimum, but the 200 increase the size a bit more (obviously).

Anyway, the 200 is still not able to give "head portraits" only.

I'm waiting for the smaller extension tube to go more near the subject...

sincerly

Alberto

Dear friends.

I'm going to change my 645 (with 45 and 200 mm) to buy a new 67II0,

with a used 55mm and.... ?

The shop can sell me a used 150mm , but I never read about this lens.

Is there someone that can help me about ? I would like to make

portraits with that...

...and.. I'm going to do a good job with these changes ??

thanks in advance

Alberto

Dear Louis, I really want to know the same..my shop offer me a 150mm used...

Is there any body out-there that can help us ?
