So I've been debating selling my M9-P and maybe the 35 Summicron ASPH (while keeping my other lenses in case I want to re-enter the Leica world at some point) the last few months and adding a MF system since I really really like my A7 and A7r combo so much. That will probably cover the cost of a Pentax 645D and maybe a lens or 2 at current prices. I've read and researched through the forums on the camera so I have somewhat of a general idea of what to expect from the camera. I do have a question regarding lenses. How hard is it to find good copies used and how hard is it to purchase them new from overseas sellers? What about the "hidden costs" that you often find out about after the sale sometimes? Any surprises? Any recommended accessories? I know the new one is coming out but I really like the look of the current CCD (but if some great samples come out that blow me away prior to my purchase then maybe I'll swing the extra coin for it.)
I hope to start with the Pentax 645D + 55/2.8 + 120/4 Macro (if I can find one in like new to excellent condition) If I make the ultimate decision to go this route. Oh yeah and I'd prefer to work with AF lenses but I'm not completely opposed to MF if that's all that's available.
