OK, let me seize my chance to show my ignorance. Compared to a K-5 or
equivalent, the 645D is bigger, heavier, slower, and doesn't have as
many interesting lenses. Its only advantage is a mega-huge sensor
with correspondingly many pixels. So my conclusion was that this
kind of thing is really only useful for those who want to do
large-format printing, magazine pages and up.
Is there any other reason to use one, aside from it being beautiful
and seductive and all that? -Tim
Tim, with my briefest encounter with 645 film camera and assortment of
lenses back in 2004 I should say that 75/2.8, 45/2.8 and 120 mm macro (I
think these were the ones I used) are all quite interesting lenses.
Especially if you look at the resulting pictures.
