Damn, let me get out my wallet.

Hmmm, I seem to be about £4950 short ... (couldn't even pay for the postage! )

I wouldn't have thought that a 600mm lens, even on a 645, would have had much use for "fashion photography"?

I wonder what price things like this will go for once the 645D comes out.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

There was a stack of these on ebay a while back, all with Israeli army engravings. Probably not a good idea to take them around the Middle East.

With an adapter, you could use this on a DSLR...if you could lift it.

Best regards, John

Well my excuse for not making an "offer" on it is I do not have a 645 body.

I've come across 645-fit A series lenses a few times. I know you can buy an adapter for the K mount but does this preserve the "A" functionality?

Not that I have any plans to buy that lens, I could get a rather nice car for about as much!

This seller calls himself 'lenscentre' now but he used to trade under the ebay member name 'pentaxuk'.

I've had dealings with him that were somewhat less than satisfactory.
