hello guys,i'm i right in thinking it was tamron who make the lenses for the bronica 645rf.if this is the case would it be worth while in everybody bombarding the tamron web site about making some more of these lenses.i've never been so fustrated in my life,just bought a new camera and not beeen able to buy lenses for it.it like buying a jaguar and not been able to get a set of wheels for it!!!!!

stil think it a lovely camera though!!
diolch.
 
Yes, Bronica was taken over by Tamron long before the 645RF was introduced.

There's little chance that the production line will be restarted, no matter how many requests. Basically, Tamron closed down the MF business and moved on.
 
Hi,

A few days ago I posted two links of shops in Holland which have a 100mm listed on their website. Not sure if they still have them, but they are only one email of phonecall away.

Cheers,

The 45mm lenses are still easy to pick up second hand, but the 100mm (and 135mm!) are much rarer beasts. There's a whole kit being sold on ebay at the moment (couple of hours left) where the 100mm has just reached £395 - the 45mm is at £225.
