2nd hand Pentax 645
I'm about to go mid format. Fell on a nice deal of a Pentax 645 (model
released in 1998 I think, not the AF model). There are 2 Pentax SMC-A 645 lenses that come with it : - 55/2,8 (brand new) - 150/3,5 (2nd hand) The deal : 1500 euro My questions to the specialists : - is this type of camera OK to buy 2 nd hand or is it advisable to buy it new. Noticed there's a lot of electronics in it. Is it realiable, solid enough for long tem use without failures ?? - is the price right ? - won't I have problems shooting infrared with it ?? Having the problems with some Canon slr's in mind. Thx for all help, all kinds of remarks are welcome Robert Visit my site http://www.vanbrustum.be |

Beg to differ "Angry" Maco 820C, 820C Aura, & 750 Konica IR 750 Ilford SFX (technically "almost" IR) And there's a chap that respools 70mm Kodak to 120. No reason you couldn't roll your own, too. And I think the Pentax has a 70mm back so you could shoot the Kodak 70mm. Hope that's enough options for now. -- darkroommike |
