I had the FA35, A45, FA75, A120macro and A*300/4. Sold the 45 after you were here in 2006. Acquired a demo-used FA 150/2.8, after trying it for snow crystal photography in combination with FA75 reversed on K-7 last winter.
Yes, I remember you were trying for reverse lenses macro photography on the tiny critters in the water of the lake by your cabin... Tim can probably confirm that too /grin/.
Funny this came up now. Just yesterday I made 30x30 cm prints of those snow crystal shots. They will be on display this week-end at the Norwegian PhotoExpo (http://fotomessen.com/ ). A few young photographers approached me while hanging the prints and asked if they were made of glass! :-) -But that's how crisp those images look.
Pity I cannot be there too.
Would be very interesting to try the same with 645D. The photosites are larger in 645D than in K-7, so there should be less detail in each shot for similar crops. IE, at 2X magnification (150mm/75mm = 2X).
I should be looking forward to your report. Meanwhile I am keeping myself busy taking pictures of my girls and looking and trying to process plentiful files from Sony A-850 that I happen to have obtained /grin/.
