Hmm. Well, I discovered this morning that the camera and lens were 645 and 45mm lens ... not quite the 90 degree across the diagonal that I prefer, but still quite wide. Is the 45mm lens also a good one?
(The question is almost a little too näive sounding because I haven't found too many Pentax lenses that weren't very good ... I'm really looking for how good the resolution at corners and edges are, what's the rectilinear rendering like, how is the bokeh ... ;-) I'm not entirely sure why this camera is tickling my fancy at present, but it is. I might go for it, might not; haven't shot any MF since 2003, don't know why I would want to right now. But would like to know more about the 645... I never worked with Pentax medium format although a good friend had the 6x7 way back when and it returned some mighty nice photographs.
