I've been enjoying, although hardly using, a Pentax 645 camera kit  
that was loaned to me by a kind list member. Several have been  
offered to me over the past six months. Another one was offered to me  
recently and, after some serious thought, I went back over to visit  
and refused the offer. I just couldn't think that it would be worth  
spending money on.

So the guy offered it to me again at half the price, which was  
already ridiculously low. I succumbed. I mean, I won't say the exact  
price, but let's just say that my recently acquired FA43 Limited,  
even with the rebate, was more than double what I paid for this whole  
645 kit:

Pentax 645 with front and rear caps
2x 120 magazines with tubs
A45/2.8 and A75/2.8 lenses, with hood and caps
Electric release remote cord, standard short cable release
Neckstrap and instruction booklet
Both large and small eyepiece rubbers (one new)
Fitted camera case (brand new in the box!)
Eyepiece focusing magnifier, with case

At the price I paid, if I shoot one roll of film with it and sell one  
16x20 print from that, it will have paid for itself. Such it is. Now  
I need a better scanner.

Enjoy the D, Frank. Paradigm changes are us. ;-)
