Hi all,

I'm looking for a Bronica RF645 with 45mm lens. If you have one in good working order please let me know. Thanks!

Good luck hunting. I've got a RF-645 and it is a wonderful camera indeed!
I have all three lenses, but mostly only use the 45 mm.
Also shooting portrait orientated instead of landscape orientated is nice too. (I know: you can rotate the camera, but still)

You can buy them on ebay every day if you have the scratch, usually from Japan. With the 60 expect to pay $800+ with the 45 over $1000. Been watching ebay for over a year to snag a beater at a discount, but they are all too expensive.

Yea, I'm trying to just get the body and the 45mm. There has only been one sold on ebay in the last month with the 45mm and it was a set with all 3 lenses (from what I see in eBay's sold items list). All of the currently listed ones are with the 65mm. I might end up buying a lone body and the lens separately. My preference though is to buy from someone here who actually knows the camera rather than a random seller in Japan on eBay.

I can imagine that, but other APUGers seem to have had good dealings with sellers from Japan.

Yea, I've never really had trouble buying from them before either but it's still always been a last resort when I can't buy from someone who I know has used and spent considerable time with a piece of equipment. Anyway, thanks for the link which is an encouraging reminder. I'll probably end up buying on the bay since it doesn't seem like anyone here as one available.
