Originally posted by Adrian Owerko I spoke with CRK... There is no Product recall of the 645D! Yes the DFA 645 55mm f2.8. Is in short supply ATM in Aus. Since the 645D is in such great demand, is being shipped body only. Which is a good move for those who have FA 645 glass and want to use this great camera. The DFA 645 55mm f2.8 is not far away.
I hate to say it Adrian - but the info you got is wrong.
As mentioned in my original post:
"- They've got good news and bad news. Good news, the 645D is in, bad news,
no lens (for some reason I knew he was going to say that ... something was nagging me that a lens wouldn't be with the camera).
- OK news is they have a 645 Manual focus 55mm prime and a 55-110 zoom they can loan me until the new lens arrives. I tried the 55-110 when I first tested the demo and it's a nice bit of kit."
So my 645D was delivered without a lens - body only - and was still recalled. The recall came direct from one of the owners/Directors of CRK, not the local rep'.
@ aeros - so someone else had the same thing ... it's here!! But you can't have it. We're sending it back. Doesn't help either of us, but nice to know I'm not the only unlucky sod to get the Good News, then the Bad News calls so close to each other.
