HAs anyone tried buying one from Pentax, it is still a currently available item !!
Also the beauty of the adapter is that you keep Aperture but of cause you loose autofocus, because there are no 67 AF lenses anyhow.
The adapter is worth it as 67 lenses are far more available than 645 lenses and cheaper too. Size..... not that much bigger and most are primes !! Did I mention cheap, like most are $200~
I got my 7 lenses for $1500, tell me that is not worth it !!! and 3 were new....

Originally posted by mikebob I cannot see that Pentax would just start up making these things again as the vast majority of people who buy the 645D will not be using 67 lenses. They will be buying new 645D lenses or using existing 645 ones. The 67 lenses are huge for the most part as is the adapter and you lose all of your auto-widgets (at least auto focus and auto aperture). This is probably a good thing, as 67 lenses should stay at reasonable prices!
I still find it really interesting that the pre-release sneak-peaks keep mentioning that this new camera can use 67 lenses with an adapter. It seems really odd to me when the adapter is so elusive.
Ah well, this is a dead horse I think. I'll get back to my looking
