The 645 is reputed to be the toughest, most reliable camera ever made by
Pentax. I know I've put mine through its paces in the abuse handling
department :) I have the original one, which is manual focus, and I find
it a joy to use. I shoot B&W almost exclusively with it; I'll never go
back to printing from those tiny 35mm B&W negs again!
I felt the same way when I moved from 35mm film to 645/6x6 film, but I never got my hands on a Pentax 645. Scanning a medium format negative produces results that are so much nicer than scanning 35mm negatives...
