75mm A lens now sold!
Anyone interested in the LS version? Stick it on a 645 -> PK adapter and you'll have a nice portrait prime!

I'll put sample pics in a following post.
First up is the A 75mm.
It's in excellent condition, with no problems optically or mechanically. I'm looking for £120 delivered to the uk.
Second is the 75mm leaf shutter version. The shutter allows you to sync with a flash up to 1/500s (This compares with the standard sync speed of 1/60s for the 645 system). It is optically in excellent condition - I've had no problems using it to take images. It can be used in a "standard mode" where you set the aperture manually and shoot away without needing to worry about the shutter. In this mode it was my most used lens for the 645 system for about 18 months. The leaf shutter also works well. However, there is a mechanical issue - at some point it looks like the filter ring took a knock. This hasn't damaged the optics or internal mechanics, however it makes it difficult to switch the lens from normal mode to leaf shutter mode - I use a rubber lens hoot to give me a bit more grip when I want to make the change. Changing shutter speeds doesn't seem to be affected though (i.e. it's stiff to do so, but you can do it with a normal grip). It's also still possible to mount filters on the threads, though they are slightly stiff. In light of this, I'm offering the lens at £100 delivered to the uk.
Both lenses are also for sale elsewhere.
