Do not buy from eBay - get from KEH! I watched last eBay sales, and a lot of times final sales price was at the same level as KEH. OK, shipping from KEH (UPS) is not cheap, but on other side... most serious eBay sellers are shipping only with UPS. To get good deal in eBay, you have to spend a lot of time.
And about Pentacon Six... there are maybe 1-2 lenses (180mm Sonnar for example) that are worth it. Get used Pentax 645 kit... very cheap, around USD 250-300. Lens SMC coating does matter. And some lenses in KEH are only 100-150 USD. Gasha Toralf Lund wrote: > David Bliss wrote: > >>So I'm growing increasingly frustrated with 35mm and APS-C digital. >> >>Solutoin: medium format.
