Thanks, any time you decide against the screen in your N I'll be glad to acccept full guardianship of itI have my P645N fitted with a split-prism focusing screen and I am very pleased with it. However, for manual focusing I prefer my original 645 over the 645N as the original 645 viewfinder was designed for manual focussing. Nevertheless I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
Search shows last discussion in 2015. Perhaps by now somebody has one, does not like, or at least can share experience when MF on N / NII body ?
Anyone know of sources?
I guess I must be doing OK since I've been looking for one for only a month. Hopefully by Christmas I get itIt took me a year of haunting camera shows before I found mine. If there's an old line camera store in your area, have them check their "junk" drawers.
That is another benefit the original 645 has over the 645N as the standard focusing screen of the 645 has both a split-image and microprism... my preference is for the microprism version based on my experience with P6x7 screens ...
30 USD including shipping and user feedback stating it is an okay screen ... worth a try I would say.And further, has anyone tried this from Hong Kong

... That and the 645 A 35mm lens ...
I have never adapted any Pentax 67 lenses to the 645 though I have thought about it a couple of times. Why do you find this particular lens so interesting that you have decided to adapt it?The original 645 and the 105/2.4 I would say
Why do you find this particular lens so interesting that you have decided to adapt it?
I like to shoot people, mainly portraits. The 105 on the 645 is a short tele lens. Compared to the 75 it has great, great subject isolation with stunning sharpness fall off. Perhaps it is my technique, or lack thereof, but I never got that pop effect with the 75. It is a little tricky to say, but of all the lenses I own this one is definitely among my all-time top 3.
Go for it. And if you don't like the handling or image quality, let me know. There is a fair chance I'll buy your 105 as I do not mind having two of those. I like it that much! (And if you do, make sure you have the original Pentax 67 - 645 convertor. I've heard not so great things about cheaper, third-party adapters)
