Would there be any problems/limitations using an FA lens on the original manual focus body? A 45-80mm FA zoom may be available inexpensively. There is plenty of information out there indicating the manual focus A lenses can be used on the autofocus 645n, 645nii, and 645D but not he reverse.

I would think it's compatible as focus on the FA can be set to manual and it is the same lens mount, but I'd appreciate if anyone could confirm this.

The lens will fit and work properly. You just won't get the auto-focus.
