I'm with hefty.
the drawback to the zooms is gonna be variable apertures as you zoom, constant aperture zooms are best...
but the 50 and 100 macro (the 50 with 1.7 teleconverter would work nicely...) are your best bets..
the 16-45 may be useful if the space is cramped....
the next problem you may encounter is the studio lights may be too powerful to use properly with wide open apertures, so an nd filter or two (polarizer and or nd filters) will help there....

yep try to do that at least once a month, one camera and one lens....
there is no other way to get proficient with each individual peice of equipment.
I'd go so far as to say you'll lose many important shots if you are swapping lenses and not well versed in each lenses strengths and weaknesses...

I don't know what caused the guy to blow the shoot, but wow.... why did those people have to sue him?
Better business sense to have a contract, and simply return thier money in event the pictures got lost...
kinda adds a sense of injury added to insult for the couple to have to sue this guy

You might fit it on the 645 mount itself and hope it will cover the film/sensor but you lose infinite focus then.

I think you also misinterpeted part of the question...Don wrote:

Yes link645 to 35 mm lens adaptor and have it retain infinity focus?

ie... will the 35 mm lens fit inside the 645 mount on the body with enough room for an adapter to link the aperture and lectrical contacts up?
Don't think so and you would also have a problem with the image circle so it isn't possible.ie... will the 35 mm lens fit inside the 645 mount on the body with enough room for an adapter to link the aperture and lectrical contacts up?

I know there are adaptors to use 645 lenses on 35 bodies, I'm hoping there will be a way to use the 35 lenses on the 645d Bodies... the image circle won't matter, just use less of the sensors area...
It would be a major coup for pentax 645 shooters to pull say 20 mp stills off the 645 with thier ff 35 mm lenses....

Who owns both a 645 and 35mm pentax?
I wonder if anybody can look at thier lensmounts and tell me if it would look possible to built a 645 to 35 mm lens adaptor and have it retain infinity focus? ie... will the 35 mm lens fit inside the 645 mount on the body with enough room for an adapter to link the aperture and lectrical contacts up?

I use manual white balance with a kodak greycard. set wb and exposure and you get a perfect starting point...

Very interesting.
I like the subtleness in it and the colours, but what's there in the bottom?
It doesn't really fit to the rest I believe.
