So I'm growing increasingly frustrated with 35mm and APS-C digital. Solutoin: medium format. But what?
Hasselblad makes the sexiest gear I've ever seen. But I can't afford it even used. I like the larger negative area of the Pentax 67 -- after all, isn't neg area the name of the game? But I HATE the look of the camera. It sounds like it requires a tripod bigger than God and MLU for every shot. Flash sync sucks at only 1/30. No hotshoe for my level. Pluses: waist-level finder (apparently not a great one). 645: less neg. fixed prism -- no WL finder looks more like a hassy :) data imprinting (a must) less need for mlu/tripods/etc focus confirm on manual lenses uses 67 lenses Maybe a 645D in the future -- yeah right. So: Which should I get? Is the cost in image size worth all the other benefits of the 645? Or should i skip MF and go straight to a 4x5 view camera? Or should I go to a 6x6 view camera with the idea of robbing a bank for a digital back? But only P67/P645 will play with my existing bodies... Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, or tips appreciated. I really wanted a waist-level finder... Thanks, david -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
