If I didn't have so much invested into my Nikon gear I think would could quite easily move to Pentax completely.
Best regards
If I really like the Pentax system I'll probably at some point sell my Nikon setup and get myself a K5iis and move completely to Pentax and keep the K30 as a backup. I'm still undecided though as I really like my D7000 and don't really want to sell for the sake of selling just to move brands completely.

I paid the following
645n - £350 (ebay)
45mm f2.8 fa £249 (srs)
80-160mm f4.5 fa - £399 (srs)
Both lenses were bought from SRS and I have the receipts for them. Both lens have front and rear caps plus lens hoods.
Total £998
I've also got 5 rolls of Ilfrod Panf 50 (black and white) (£15-£20), 5 rolls of Kodak Ektar (£15-£20) that can come with the camera.
Some of the shots taken with the camera and a photograph of the camera itself is on my 645n flickr sets page.

I'd obviously like to recover as much as possible so would be looking at around £950 plus £25 insured next day delivery for the set up including the film. I would be prepared to sell the items individually. I have a pdf version of the manual for the camera and can easily supply it onto a cd.
Photo's can be provided on Thursday of each lens as I'm working nights and will have more time on Thursday to sort them out.

Excellent shots. I have some Acros waiting to be tried out myself in my 645.
Womble, I think you should go for the 6x7, from what I've seen of your shooting, I think it would suit you. I'd love one myself, but they're too expensive.

Usually most of my landscapes are shot using a tripod so I'll probably be shooting some Panf 50 soon I used a cokin 1 or 2 stop nd grad. Someone also suggested using a yellow or orange filter so I'll give that a go next time as well
Funny enough my options were to buy a 645n, 6x7 or Nikon D600/D800 and I opted for the 645n. I did a lot of research and managed to get the 645n plus 45mm f2.8 fa and 80-160mm f4.5 fa for the money I'd saved.
I currently shoot with a Nikon D7000 but been looking for a cheapish Pentax dslr to buy and just in the process of picking up a K-30. Friend of mine uses a K-x and I swear the metering is better on the k-x than my d7000
Wonderful images there Howie, looks like the 645 is going to suit you. I like them all although the second and third ones are particularly sweet. Are you using a filter with these? You are getting some nice detail in the clouds. Pan F might be a bit slow this time of year (unless you're using a tripod).
You are making me wonder whether to spend my K5II budget on a 6x7 instead...
Best wishes, Kris.

Don't forget they should keep for years in freezer.
