pentax 645d IR
They only make 100 a year, and it's not available to the general public A link to the Ricoh blurb here, , showing what is perhaps the worst ever example of a really bad photo being used to show the capabilities of a camera. It would no doubt be a lot cheaper and easier to buy a stock 645D ...

P67 film loading - Blank first frame?
Hi All, Things are generally going well with my P67, however after half a dozen rolls a couple have a blank frame at the beginning of the roll (giving only 9 shots). The frame spacing is good and consistent throughout the roll and the other rolls have ten exposures at the same spacing so it must ...

P67 45mm or 55mm lenses?
Quick update, I have now acquired an SMC Pentax-6x7 45mm f/4. The only results I've had back so far have been quick test shots but it looks a superb lens.

645D 55mm kit lens issues
Hello, I have a 645D with standard 55mm kit lens. The camera has around 500 actuations. I am concerned by the loose and imprecise movement of the focusing ring. If I place my thumb and index finger either side of the focus ring and gently move it from side to side there is movement in each di...

velvia 50 advice came a settings
I shot the above image in 1999. I used Velvia in a 1950s 6X9 Zeiss Ikonta with a 10.5cm coated Tessar lens. It was great fun and I even had the pleasure of processing the film myself. E6 kits were so cheap back then!

Filters exposure compensation
Hi Bjørn, I presume by B&W you mean monochrome and not filters from the company called 'B+W'? I'm not totally familiar with the 67ii prisms, but it should meter taking account of the coloured filters without needing exposure compensation. But, bear in mind the meter is likely calibrated for wh...

Pentax 67 Shutter Issues
It's funny as my friend had a similar problem with his 67. In the end he got it serviced. Not cheap, but worth it. Now? He is delighted that he has got his 67 back. It's like a new camera for him. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but like John has said, they are worth getting a service every...

Pentax 6X7 Film Type Dial
So,I recently got a 6X7 without MLU on Ebay from an older gentleman. Listed as in working condition. I've gotten new batteries, lens, straps, etc for it, and it shoots fine with 120 film. I downloaded the 67 manual by accident, and just got the 6X7 one yesterday. I started playing with everything...

Pentax 645Z
The Pentax 645Z shares the 50MP Sony sensor with Hasselblad H5D-50c camera and Phase One IQ250 digital back. When studying the Hasselblad, I cannot help but praise Pentax for their design. The Hasselblad IMHO simply looks strange and dated in comparison: Another thing I noticed is that Hasse...

Pentax Z coming soon?
It's also possible that someone owns the rights to using Z on a camera in the same way that Olympus had to change the M-1 to OM-1 due to Leica objecting. -- The probably do, but Ricoh will not be worried as Pentax had the Z-1 back in the 90s.

Pentax 645D now £4249 !!!!!!!
Seems as though the existing 645D body price has now dropped to £4249 (SRS, WEX, Clifton) - Anybody tempted ? :) Yes, very tempted! Especially with 2 years 0% finance. Part of me wants to sell off most of my to fund a 645D which would leave me with:- K-3 & F*250-600mm for wildlife 645D...

Pentax 645D now £4249 !!!!!!!
... It makes a lot of sense from a quality / selling prints perspective and it really would help me focus as I'd never have to wonder what lens to take with me etc. It's definately doable, just don't know if it's something I might regret! Would any of you in my position take the plunge? Would be ...

Pentax 645D now £4249 !!!!!!!
I view technology change as the problem. Back in film days there was a real quality advantage for MF over 35mm offsetting (for some) the weight and cost of MF. As film technology improved that advantage continued as the MF camera could, in principle, share the same film types as 35mm. But in...

Pentax 67 II
Hey Guys, Photographer and Photographers Assistant wanting to get back into medium format, i've tried the last few days to rent a Pentax 67 II from rental companies in London but it seems that none of them are stocking 67's anymore for rental, this is really annoying as i want to start shooting o...

Cross-processed film and Lightroom
In Doha the only way I can get medium format film processed is cross-processing. I've been looking for a Lightroom preset to turn some already exposed scanned films back to "normal". I have a preset that makes normal shots look cross-processed, but can't find one that does it in reverse. Has anyone ...

645 lens range increases from 3 to . . .
..... I bought a mint FA 150mm f/2.8 recently on Ebay for £186, lovely creature! :D :shock: That's about the same price the manual focus version would have sold for 2 or 3 years ago :shock: You either got an absolute bargain or prices have plummeted even further - it's a cracking lens :)
