Title: Pentax 645 AF mount on Mamiya 645 AF
Post by: Anders_HK on June 09, 2007, 07:58:44 am
Is there any adapter available to use Pentax 645 AF mount lenses on Mamiya 645 AF? Is there any that AF meter?

Much thanks.

i dont think you will find an af adaptor, but you might find a mamiya to pentax 67 adaptor(i havnt checked), these are the guys that would make it-
[a href=\"http://www.zoerk.com/]http://www.zoerk.com/[/url]

i have a name of someone who will make one offs, but it will very expensive. and i doubt electronic contacts are a possibilty.

just looked on the zoerk site, there dosnt seem to be any adaptors at all for the mamiya to mount other lenses. just adaptors for mamiya lenses on other cameras.

Ok, so nobody makes such adapter as stock. It should still be possible... or??

Thus my follow up... does anyone know of someoene (worldwide) that could make such an adapter?

Alternatively to modify a Pentax 645 zoom lens for the Mamiya 645 mount, either with full metering or manual and stepped down.

All for not astronomical $.

Is possible? Or I should simply not bother?

I much appreciate your advise.

Regards
Anders

a while ago, I took a long look at the possibility of connecting the pentax 35mm af lens to mamiya 645 (ZD) too - and had a long conversation with mr. zörkendorfer about this. he actualy made an adapter for himself (lenstests), but stated that he would not sell it, since it was to wobely. nor would he make any on demand.
 theoreticaly one has a few mm space between the cameramount and the pentax-lensmount for a adapter-solution. but its simply not enough to connnect the lens in a half-decent and stable way.

apart from the pentax 35mm af lens (which is much better then the mamiya version) - I dont realy see why one would want to do this, since all other mamiya lenses (that I know) are realy quite good and cheap.

Stefan,

Much thanks for interesting reply. Coming from SLRs I am tempted to have a Pentax 33-55mm on a Mamiya ZD   ...
