Medium format film camera equipment is also really low in value

because he isn't using it any more and doesn't feel like the
hassle of selling it. Guess I'll clean it up, check it out, and
eBay it. I don't have any use for it either.
Keep the lenses for your 645D!
Or send the lenses to me for my 645D!
Well, he gave me two 645 autofocus bodies and three lenses, wide,
normal, and tele/macro. Unfortunately when he stopped using the
stuff some three years ago it was put in a shed for storage. Must
have been very humid at times. The macro has a nice crop of fungus
on the front and rear. Surprisingly, the other two lenses don't seem
to have any fungus. I haven't yet tried to see if it will clean off.
Everything's in a Lightware case, the two bodies, three lenses, a
bunch of film inserts, accessories, and three dedicated Pentax flash
units. I need to sort it all out and figure out just what's what. I
think it's really sad that the bottom dropped out of prices on this
stuff.
Yeah, I'll probably wait until the 645D comes out before trying to
sell the lenses.
