With or without a filter? The 100mm macro for 6x7 does 1:1 with its included filter, otherwise it is 1:2. > Want decent close focusing ability? Get the 645n. The newer lenses for 67 are getting much better for this (I'm quite happy with my 75mm f2.8, it focuses down to a foot and a bit). Of course, that requires one to buy brand new lenses. I agree with Tom on the rest, especially: > Both systems have their advantages.

It really does make a difference (and it sold me totally on the 67 over the 645n, which I did quite like). If you're buying used, more plentiful deals are probably out there on 67 stuff, but then you're getting the older lenses with the poorer minimum focus distance. As an example, with the 105mm f2.4 (even the newest version, which I have), you can't get any closer than a head and shoulders portrait. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
