Pentax 645 Medium Format Film Camera with 45mm f2.8 lens
Condition: The lens has a small scratch on the front element. It does not affect the pictures but the price has been adjusted accordingly.
Description:
The Pentax 645 was released in 1984 as Pentax's answer to a straightforward question: what if medium format felt as familiar and approachable as a 35mm SLR? The result is a camera that genuinely delivers on that idea. It shoots on 120 or 220 roll film in the 6×4.5 format, giving you a negative that is almost three times the area of 35mm, with the smooth tonal gradation and fine detail that only medium format film can produce. The handling is close to that of a 35mm SLR: eye-level pentaprism viewfinder, shutter speed and aperture readout in the finder, full PASM exposure modes, and a built-in motor drive that advances film automatically. The 45mm f/2.8 lens is the wide-angle option in the 645 system, equivalent to roughly 28mm in full-frame 35mm terms, making it a versatile choice for interiors, landscapes, and environmental portraits. This is an excellent starting point for medium format film photography, and one of the most accessible systems ever made at this format.
