Hartblei,..at last a use for pentax lenses
Yes, Pentax really took their eye off the prize there. Imagine if only they'd come up with the idea of a camera that costs 5,000 Euros (without lens, back or viewfinder), has no AF or continuous shooting and can only be used on a tripod. People would have been queueing around the block to get the...

Hartblei,..at last a use for pentax lenses
The instruction book for the 645d has already been printed and an unauthorised copy was on the internet, Pentax are hardly likely to go to the printers if the camera isn't ready to launch. Anyway once you've bought your Hartblei, a Leaf back and some lenses we'll enjoy hearing your experiences w...

Hartblei,..at last a use for pentax lenses
Body, lens, battery and a software CD I'd imagine - probably a strap too but I wouldn't push it. :wink: As John's said, the 645 isn't a "system" camera so there's no need for the additional back used in other DMF systems. Professionals will probably view that as "a bad thing", but that's what wil...

pentax 645nii wanted
I may be in the market for the above camera with a good portrait lens,and 120 film back in February is anyone thinking of selling one. James I have done some research and think pound for pound the medium film road is better value for money.

645D Press Release
[quote:3496ace15f="johnriley"]Basically you exposed to make sure the highlights retained some detail. Washed out highlights kill a slide. Just like digital then :) Yes, exactly. Which is why I say that trying at least one slide film is a good discipline - it shows exactly how good we are at composin...

looking at buying this camera
It's also possible simply to you a DSLR to take meter readings - with a telephoto lens on it becomes quite a selective meter as well. If your lens has distance markings it will also help to set the focus point on older cameras that have no rangefinder or a very poor screen.

Newest info 645D
From looking at a few images on the web, I think the quality of what the 645D can do looks very impressive, and it's spec is very complete when compared to other MF cameras. I think Pentax have played to their strengths and developing brand as a manufacturer of well-specified and rugged cameras ...

Impressive images indeed. Even a tight crop produces some very good results. I do think that the images you have shown are lacking contrast and are perhaps a little over-exposed. The original poster of this thread, Martin Lochmans (malo1961) is no longer an active user on this site. He came, h...

Definitely seeing a 3D quality, especially in shot 1. Nothing to do with medium format. Any reasonably sharp foreground subject against a very out-of-focus background will have this effect.

Festivals with the Pentax 67II
What a great shot! I used to see coverage of this event back when I lived in Hong Kong. What a bunch of lunatics :) It has some similarities with that weird cheese rolling festival in the UK, but much more dangerous :) That hasn't stopped the HSE from banning the cheese thing this year though! ...

E-10 Error on Pentax 67ii
What I have managed to do now is open the back (with the camera in a changing bag) and manage to fiddle and wind the film on a couple shots. I then closed the back, removed the camera from the changing bag and the error 'E-10' had dissappeared. So it seems the error is something to do with the film ...

Workflow for Scanning on Coolscan 9000
I can't comment on the 9000, so I don't know how helpful this answer will be. FWIW, though, I have a 5000, and I'm about a quarter of the way through scanning about ten thousand 35mm colour negs that have been sitting in a cupboard for years. I don't have the prints, so I don't know what I've go...
