Thomas, your right, I got his 45mm A lens mixed up in his reviews. All I know is that according to diglloyd, the best 55 he has tested was a the 67 version with the adaptor which I have a used adaptor on order from Japan, and I purchased a demo 67 45mm from Adorama with a 30 day return policy, If the 45 performs well on the 645D then I will probably just stick with that, and sell my 45-85mm FA.
I also just got in my Pentax 645 Magnifier, which attaches perfectly to my 645. Should help with manual focus. I got mine for 85.00 with case from keh.
Though you can get a used 67 55mm pretty cheap.

"The SMC-A 55mm f2.8 is a cracking manual focus Pentax 645 lens that outperforms the Hasselblad 50mm CF. "
This is on a Canon body, i.e., digital
