There are 2 on ebay at the moment, one via a camera shop and one from a private seller in LondonI've considered the Hassy 110 too. But I'm going to give the Mamiya a try.
Plus it's finding a 110 F2 used, anywhere!

Chris, I don't think the LS 110mm works other than wide open and focal shutter only on the AFDIII.Thanks, I took delivery of a 1.9 80mm of which I really like and have a 110mm 2.8 incoming.
Tripod shooting looks the way to go so at least I'll have my hands free for manual focus
I use 55mm MF LS on AFD bodies. All it takes to make them work is like 5 seconds and screwdriver. Of course you will need trigger it with cable, but hey..Chris, I don't think the LS 110mm works other than wide open and focal shutter only on the AFDIII.
It's the manual focus one. I want to see how I get on with the focal length.Chris, I don't think the LS 110mm works other than wide open and focal shutter only on the AFDIII.
When focusing as close as you are you need to compensate for light loss as you extend the lens away from the camera. At the distance you are shooting at I would say that 1 stop is about correct. The rest of the error could be a badly calibrated light meter.It's the manual focus one. I want to see how I get on with the focal length.
Out of interest, has anyone noticed differences in metering when using a light meter? I just finished a session where the light meter was giving me a reading which was 1.5 stops under what the camera wanted it to be, and in lightroom correcting it by this amount made a better exposure. (i.e. the camera was correct, not the meter).
Hmmm, ok, will give it a try. When you say extend the lens away from the camera, can you clarify this for me? As I'm reading it as being too close to the subject and taking the light away from them. But I'm almost 2 metres away and sitting down.When focusing as close as you are you need to compensate for light loss as you extend the lens away from the camera.

Had AFDIII myself before, and focus issues. How do you know it is not an issue of where you point the focus, or misalignment (within Mamiya tolerance) or similar of focus sensor in camera??I've not been too impressed with the focusing ability of the AFDIII, and looked into it a bit more now that I've got time and it appears I have a body that front focuses (kind of ruled out the lenses).
I tested the camera with a football and my dog, white dog, black eyes, white distressed football on grass.
Found mine on ebay.... it's a gem and got it for $ 800, but with a stuck iris.I've considered the Hassy 110 too. But I'm going to give the Mamiya a try.

Wow, Bargain. I'm also impressed with the 110mm 2.8 (arrived yesterday), doesn't like bright sunlight though (low contrast - can you get hoods for the old Sekor lenses)?

Many older 645 lenses have some mild haze to them. This lowers the contrast.Wow, Bargain. I'm also impressed with the 110mm 2.8 (arrived yesterday), doesn't like bright sunlight though (low contrast - can you get hoods for the old Sekor lenses)?
