Hi,

i use a metz flash unit now, but i would like to use a smaller flash unit to put on top of the 645 (less bulky). Which pentax flash would be the best solution for the 645 nii? besides that it would be nice if it could be used in the future on a digital body also...

Is for example the 360 ftz a good alternative?

i do not like the adjusted head shot. You see the vains in the face.
The original does not look sharp.....

What i did with your initial image:
Saturation +10 {image/adjustments/hue saturation}
Contrast +5 {image/adjustments/brightness-contrast}

Portraits look better when they are soft.
Never try to oversharp a portrait!

Hi,

i just bought a lx and have a 28/2.8 and a 50/1.4
What would be a nice longer lens until max 150mm.

i can not find that much info about the full range of lenses available and their quality...

i bought it...
there is also a fb1 and a fd2 included.

I owned a 67 a z1p and a mz-s. But eventually i got a lx.
(i still have a 645nii, which i love too)

I like the weight so i can take it easily for walking in the mountains. viewfinders, very need! Now a couple of lenses..
I have a 28, 2.8, want a 50 1.4 along with it.
I also have the 645->35 converter so i can use all my 645 lenses on it too!

happy shooting!

I can buy a pentax lx (latest model) from some guy with winder and handgrip.

I'm just thinking if i should buy it or not...

I need some advice..

did you have a look at the click ring on the lens, to set it to autofocus mode. Otherwise it is manual. When in manual mode, you can easily focus the lens with the ring, else when you try to rotate it, something will hold it.

it's a nice camera, i bought mine 2 years ago and never regretted it. last week i bought a 300 4.0 ed for 350 dollar. 1 year ago the price would be 700 dollar secondhand. I think the prices will increase after the sale of the 645D when people want to buy lenses along with the body....

The 120 macro is also a very good performer and i love to shoot macro with it. (www.foto-art.nl)
