Did a pretty thorough search of the archives to find not much posted about this lense. I've read the ~ 50 reviews of this floating around from users of other camera makers (not sure if there's some unofficial cultural taboo about using other brand names in here) and it seems very good to slightly

Re: Potential buyrs of a D645?

You could probably use your 6x7 glass on a 645D, although it would probably be like using K glass on an *istD -- at best. However, I wouldn't mind having to use a handheld meter, as I do with my 6x7. Paul > This one time, at band camp, "Rob Studdert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > So who her

If you are going to smash it, could you remove the ISO setting mechanism and rewind crank, I "kind of" bunged it up on an ME-SE and it would be almost mint otherwise. David Savage wrote: That sounds like fun. Common Don. Do it, do it, do it, do it. Dave S On Wed, 16 Mar 2005 22:33:52 -0600,
