Yes, the 120 Macro is definitely a keeper - although a bit heavy. Must use a tripod due to the very shallow depth of field. I'm thinking of getting a LED ring light for it too.
So far I have: 35, 55, 75 FA, 120 Macro, and 150. Also the 2x magnifier and the right angle finder. However, I just bought a Hartblei 45mm tilt-shift - waiting for that to show up!

I'm in the process of ordering HiTech filters as a cheaper alternative to Lee, seems like the HiTech are good value for the money. I already have the Lee RF75 system and the best thing I can say about them is I can't tell from my pictures that I'm using any filters.

I'm using a Think Tank Streetwalker Pro - and it's getting quite full.

Thanks for the tip, I ordered one and it installed easily. Much better than the useless flat genuine Pentax one!

Congrats Ryan! I'm a recent convert myself in Vancouver, B.C. Just bought a 120 Macro and a 2x magnifier attachment off a guy locally who has a 645D. According to the local Pentax rep they have sold ten 645D's in Vancouver so far......

Yeah, mine is flat too. Didn't know there were two kinds.

The N imprints EXIF data also, but only with the FA lenses. That's what my 645N does with the 75mm FA lens, but not with the A 35mm nor the A 150mm.

Depends on what your interest are. I shoot mostly landscapes, so I use the 35mm probably 70% of the time, the 75mm 10% of the time, and the 150mm 20% of the time. YMMV.

I have two 645Ns, and am thinking of carrying both in ThinkTank holsters on my belt.......

I use the Fader ND from Hong Kong - the variable feature is great for getting the right "look" with water.

I use a Feisol CF tripod that I formerly used for my Chamonix 4x5 view camera, and an Arca Swiss P0 head - which has a built in panning feature for panoramics. I've been quite impressed by the P0, though 67 owners may want to use the P1 instead. Yes, I weigh the Feisol down with the centre hook to my backpack.
