The first time I tried Leica S2 back in 2009, I fell in love with it. In a way they are right, as Leica has never been associated with a word “affordable”, yet it is not that simple… The thing is, most people who are contemplating to get into Medium Format hardly consider Leica S as an affordable option. I still have my other lenses for situations where I need to stop down for an increased depth of field, like group photos, but I use the Bokeh Factory lens for 99% of my photos.Contax 645 lenses on Leica S medium format cameras? While this is not something new, for some it may prove useful indeed. The downside to this conversion is that the lens is now a fixed aperture lens. The bokeh is very unique and adds such a three dimensional look to the photos. I really love the combo of the Pentax with the 80mm Zeiss lens.
After experimenting with the different lenses, and shooting hundreds of rolls of film, I finally felt like I had found “my lens.” I eventually saved up almost $2000, and purchased the Contax 80mm F/2 lens. Looking for an alternative to the bulk and weight of the 105mm lens led me to The Bokeh Factory and their wide variety of lenses they modify to fit the Pentax 645 system. The downside of this lens is it is a large and heavy, not much fun to travel with. I really liked the lens, mainly the bokeh it produced and the ability to focus on subjects very close to the camera. I purchased the 105mm F/2.4 lens and an adapter to use it on the 645 system. The next lens I purchased was a lens designed for the Pentax 67 camera. This lens has the best autofocus capabilities and doesn’t add much weight to the camera. This lens is the equivalent to the 50mm on a 35mm camera. The first lens I used was the 75mm that comes standard with the camera. It opens up so many possibilities for experimenting with different lenses. One of the most exciting reasons I switched systems was the ability to adapt and use lots of different lenses for this camera. Lenses & Adapting Lenses for the Pentax 645Nii
