Guess the lens?

tackyat.2 · 06-15-2011, 12:08 AM

Another shot in the ballpark; Pentax A* 300mm 2.8?

sorry for the mistake.

New hint: The lens can be mounted on all digital Pentax single lens reflex bodys.

does that mean it could be mounted on the 645D? So it's a Medium Format lens? :O

Next guess: Takumar 500/4.5

yes

DanielT74 · 06-15-2011, 02:26 AM

The 645 300/4?

**fs999** · 06-15-2011, 02:46 AM

FA 645 150mm f:2.8 ?

DanielT74 · 06-15-2011, 03:55 AM

In the meantime, here's another one from me.

A pretty common lens this time, at least judging from the number of reviews here - heaps!

Why nobody thinks of a 600mm?

It was the 645-A* 600mm:

Mamma mia!
That because I am not strong enough to bring this lens into my door if I buy it, and if I somehow got it delivered, I may not be strong enough to bring it out ;-)

Yep, this is a pretty rare beast to have grazed these shores... (very nice rendition in both pics, but is a 600mm lens (not to mention medium format) necessary to take pics like these, or was it just to make the guessing game extra hard?)

I guess it has to do with the composition as well as the rendering. honestly, the best guess I could had given is 135-200mm. also , thinking that it could be too long for 600mm and as others mentioned, can't bring it out for a walk.

RXrenesis8 · 06-15-2011, 09:01 AM

With the given distances and the relative scale of the subjects I could have guessed that it was longer than 300mm but 600? I just don't have any experience with anything that long!

feverbeaver · 06-15-2011, 11:50 AM

I normally don't use the lens for flowers, but I want to test the lens a little bit at the minimum focusing distance.
And I thought it would be interesting for you to see a 600mm in a not so common use.

No takers for geese-feeding man?
