Although made for the old 645 film camera, this lens works very well with the 645Z. Sure, it's manual focus, but the body will light up red squares in the viewfinder to indicate proper focus. And although there's no "A" setting on the aperture ring, all metering is still done with the lens wide open -- it only stops down for the exposure. The leaf-shutter function works seamlessly with the 645Z. It must be manually cocked after each shot, but that's no problem. You'll need to connect the flash directly to the lens, so you'll need a pc-to-hotshoe adapter if you want to shoot with the flash mounted on the camera. Very pleased with this lens!

While the rest of the photographic "film" crew are jumping ship for the "digital cruise",this leaves a host of lenses to finally be quite affordable. The 75mm Pentax 67 glass is no exception. It arrived (from Ebay) on a friday, I used it that night and had the negatives hanging to dry! Now i know we all have our favorites and this particular optic will create a warm cozy moment to occur in the arsenal as well. Listen, I loaded the camera with HP5,recording under 2 pocket video lights, "hand held" at 60th sec. and "Wide open" at f/4.5! Hey, I realize the tripod, the f stop, lights, and slow shutter BUT I wanted to see results from the hip. (which I love to see the creative juices flow). Enjoyed the crisp,wet negatives hanging with the depth of field pressing the background into the Sweet formations of out of focus highlights lending a cool hand in rendering the subject matter "sharp". Just remember, each prime lens has its job cut out specifically for it. You definitely should have the camera bag well stocked for whatever the occasion throws at you!Read full review
There is always the sharpest goto lens in any camera system and available in older fluted or newer in rubberized focus, the 75mm/f4.5 is it. A mild wide-angle it is much like a 35mm/f3.5 or 35/f2 in the 135 format it is a "street shooter" field of view. Sharpness is high from around 62 lpmm to maybe 112 lpmm, it is full of ability from wide open to at least f16. It is a little dim due to the f4.5 so the low light focus can get a little tricky, but most cases it is still possible to get the stock microprism to work. Only the rare 75mm/f2.8 would be the better choice, although, it's so rare that I wonder if it really exists. The only other sharpness giant in the family may be the 100mm/f4 Macro. So if you land one, good going!
this is an affordable lens that gives a very interesting look to your work. Yuo will have a lot of fun with this one and find yourself using it quite a lot. Generally too wide for portraits (except it will save you with large groups sometimes) but it adds life to couples or other small groups.
