First Pentax 645Z review
I already have spoken to someone over there but it seems the camera is a recluse at the moment, wonder if hassy and phase one have strained production demands of the sensor. No word on expectancy either

Taken the plunge.
I think the newer lenses are fractionally better. I have the old 120 macro already and that will cover a lot of ground on its own, but I stumped-up for the 55 'kit' lens as it is as highly regarded as the 120, but weatherproof etc. The 45mm may get used for group shots or something, but it's not rea...

645D dust removal and sensor clean
I'd be grateful for any advice on dust removal. Has anyone had persistent dust on the 645D sensor? What methods have been used to remove the items? Has anyone had to return it for cleaning and who did they use? thanks Paul

645D dust removal and sensor clean
After my Arctic Butterfly failed to move the dust, mine cleaned up fine with visible dust 33mm Vswabs, corner swabs and VDust Plus fluid. its actually very easy to do.

New Pentax 645z with problem sensor
I am posting a few pics of a new pentax 645z with a questinable sensor. Please look at pics and let me know if your 645z sensor looks like this. It looks like someone removed the glass cover (maybe because it was scratched or damaged) and the sensor cannot be cleaned. It is a matte black sensor wit...

New Pentax 645z with problem sensor
As previous post, it looks good to go. I'm sure the glass in my K3 and K5 was removed as well.

New Pentax 645z with problem sensor
Please only post once, rather than in multiple sections. I'll close this one to avoid confusion. Looks like the shutter is closed to me. You won't see the sensor until the shutter opens.

Review of 645Z - better late than never
For those interested, who haven't already seen it, here is Nasim Mansurov's review of the 645Z: https://photographylife.com/reviews/pentax-645z . He finds plenty to like about it. His reservations? The autofocus and the lack of an electronic shutter ... and partly because of a hand injury, the bu...

Why Medium Format?
I was thinking more about the sensor/film size aspect of it so probably geared more towards digital. There's apparently a medium format 'look' to images that people bang on about. Does this 'look' still exist in digital cameras? It's understandable that MF film gives you loads of resolution to wo...

Why Medium Format?
I guess, the biggest differences are depth of field can be narrowed (although note that many MF systems have much slower lenses than typical FF systems) and tonal graduation is generally much smoother (the same tonal range is spread over more grains/pixels). However, MF film formats go all the wa...

Why Medium Format?
I haven't gone FF yet, I have.a bag of P6x7 lenses and the adapter for the 645. Obviously, I'm used to the bulk, weight and limitations of a P6x7 - a 645Z would be smaller, lighter & easier. The K-1 is a compact FF SLR, but those from other manufacturers (with grip & fast standard zoom) aren't much ...

645n and AF-500ftz flash
that doesn't sense to me but what do i know On the FGZ flashes, you can set them so they display the "lens setting" for APS, 35mm FF, 645 or 6x7. The flash coverage depends on angle of view rather than focal length. As the format size increases, the angle of view of a particular focal length will ef...

WTB Medium format cameras
In 2012 I sold an old saxophone that I did not use (I have others that I play on), and purchased a very nice Pentax 67ii system (45mm - 105mm - 165mm). Later I added the 55-100/4.5 zoom. The 67ii is a wonderful camera, however there are several aspects to consider when shooting medium format film i...

Any 645Z shooters here?
It's not for professional use, that's for sure. I mainly snap portraits and 'journal' style images of my family so I enjoyed using the 645Z for this. The larger sensor and aspect ratio makes images look great although I guess the K-1 is capable of meeting my needs with a slight crop. It's an itch...

Adapter to use 645 lenses on 67 camera
The 645 format is smaller than the 67 format, so 645 lenses will not cover the area of the 67 frame. In just the same way, a crop sensor (APS-C) lens won't cover the area needed for a full frame model such as the K-1. Hope that helps!

Zoom 105 r sticky flaps
sounds like you may have got some dust/sand in the mechanism. Have you tried cleaning it with a blower brush or jet air?

Pentax SLR
You could try cleaning the battery contacts to make sure there is no oxidation that is causing poor contact. The battery also needs to be the correct way round - see the marks in the battery chamber to check polarity is correct. Other than these simple checks there is not much else that can be d...
