Tele lens for 645N

pkr1979 · 07-03-2018, 01:05 AM

Hi all,

Im looking for a tele lens for my Pentax 645N. And it seems to me that the quality of the FA 150-300 isnt all that great. So I'm pretty much considering the FA 300 f4, the FA 300 f5.6 and the FA 400 f5.6 (as these are the lenses I know of they provide from 300mm and up - Im not considering the 600mm).

What are your experiences, opinions and thoughts on these lenses? Im happy to receive any recomendations :-)

Cheers
Peter

If you can find one of the * lenses you will be all set. They are usually manual focus but worth the trouble.

I have the FA* 300mm f/4 and can recommend it without qualification. It's one of my 3 "must-have" lenses for 645 film, the others being the 35mm f/3.5 and 120mm f/4 macro.
