What I can't understand is that while AF 35mm lenses are heading up in price, 645 lenses are vanishing through the floor. You can pick up some fantastic bargains now, and when the 645D hits the street, prices will rise again. In the meantime, you get that thrill of looking at 6x4.5 transparencies which make 35mm or digital seem very inferior in comparison.
