Want to Buy WTB: Scuzzy Pentax 645 Lenses

Hey everyone,

Just want through a rough split with my long time girlfriend, and although I managed to keep the whole darkroom, she's taking the Bronica kit. I'm tight on funds now, have NO MF cameras, and a nice stockpile of film. Just snagged a Pentax 645 super cheap to keep shooting, and am looking for a lens or two.

The more beat up the better, as $ is quite tight for the next couple of months. I'd wait, but I've got awesome adventures coming up in the meantime. I'd be interested in a 55, 45-85, 75, or maybe an 80-160, really anything that's not super wide or super long.

Let me know if anyone can spare something grungy!

Thanks

Thought about some really cheap glass, like Zeiss or even Soviet glass for Pentacon Six for <$100, and a $20 adapter?

I had no idea such an adapter existed

I forgot that with a FP shutter this is possible. Thanks for the tip. I'll probably do this for now, plus I can always snag the beautiful Sonnar 180mm in P6 mount in the future.

yeouch, maybe not. P6 to Mamiya 645 adapters are $20, that's what I paid for mine.
Seems Pentax 645 adapters aren't as popular, cheapest I can see (at least, that posts to aus) are $60...

I did notice that. Sorting through some of my stuff it looks like I have a few odds and ends I can get up for sale, and get something I'll want to keep after the move. Thanks for the tips, though!
