for anyone who is having trouble figuring what the fuss is about:
100mm, 135mm, polarizer kit, and body/65 kit. All on sale from two sellers on eBay currently.

The more RF645 telephoto and WA lens prices I see,
the more I consider my RF645 a "fixed lens" camera...

I am so glad I bought my system when I did. The price on the telephoto lenses are crazy. I have noticed the 45mm starting to creep up too. The flash is getting hard to find. I'm interested in how much the polarizer kit will go for; you don't see many of them either.

The few times I've used a polarizer with the RF645, I did OK with using two separate filters -- hold one in front of the viewfinder, turn it to get the look you want, see how it's oriented, turn the one on the lens to match, and it's all good.
Well, maybe not all good. It's slow that way. But I rarely bother with a polarizer without also thinking that a tripod would be a good idea. And in those situations, I'm not in a big hurry.

Yeah,
I did see that auction and I also am glad that I was able to get the full kit. I picked up the 100mm used, a few months after it was discontinued, for a very good price. At the same time, I also located a 135mm used for a good price in England, but I could not afford both. Had I only known! And, why have we been robbed of our forum!

Exposing since 1969.
#7 is running test film to make sure all's well with my newly acquired used 135mm.
So Far the 45mm is my favorite RF645 lens. I wish the system had run longer in the market. A 35mm ultrawide would have been cool.
I've started doing some diptych prints using a 105mm enlarrging lens and a 4X5" glass carrier on 11X14" color paper. Some are turning out quite well.

While we're counting RF645 users, I just noticed that my camera's serial number is 0000225. How many were made?

#12, mostly a lurker. I had the celebrated 100mm until a few months ago: I rarely used it (not long enough for my taste), so I sold it to finance a couple of LF lenses. I must say I have not missed it. The 65mm is my favourite lens when it is on the camera, but I find the 45mm great as well.
