This is a great lens and a great addition to my 645 digital lenses. If you have a 645Z or 645D this is the best wide angle zoom you will find. There are two cautionary notes however. This lens is much heavier than I expected. So if weight is a consideration, you might consider the FA 35mm prime which is far lighter. The camera/lens combo is right at 7 pounds and is 10 inches combined length. Also worth noting is that this lens will not autofocus on a 645 film camera nor does the shake reduction work on the film versions. All that said, its a great tack-sharp wide angle zoom lens.

I've tried many of the lenses for the 645Z and this is among the best. Image quality is as good or better than the HD primes. Auto-focus is fast. The lens has great clarity and low contrast for natural looking images. It does have shake reduction but the weight of the lens makes it a little difficult to hand hold. Best used on a sturdy tripod. It is big and it's heavy and it's expensive, but if you want the best images possible with the 645Z this lens is one to consider.

Heavy and bulky! But I enjoy being able to photograph at wider angles now. Will never use the image stabilization. Very sharp images!

Love it so far, going to Alaska in Sept. I'll have more to say after that!
