I'm up to me bum in cameras and lenses, mostly M42 and PK mounts. And I've more MF cams than I can transport and use: folders & TLRs, 6x6s & 6x9s. And I'd dearly love to add a 645 to the herd; and it'd be Real Nice if that was a Pentax too. BUT...
But a new SLR system means yet more lenses, and I'd obsessively buy too many, I know I would. And my darling Financial Director reminds me that we're no longer employed, and she ain't gonna let me blow another couple grand anytime soon, not until we sell our second house. [

So I'm trying to find ways to explore the 645 world without going totally overboard. Hey, Holgas have 645 masks! Hey, I could fabricate a 645 mask for my 1930 KW Patent-Etui 6x9 folder! And I'm beguiled by a Fuji GA645 rangefinder with 60/4 AF lens, currently up on eBay. But I just can't decide...
