Pentax 645 Medium Format Film Camera with 150mm f3.5 lens
Description
The Pentax 645 is the most accessible entry point into medium format film photography, and it earns that reputation genuinely. Introduced in 1984, it was designed to bring medium format within reach of serious amateur and working photographers who didn't want to spend Hasselblad money, and it delivers on that promise. The 6x4.5cm negatives it produces on 120 film are nearly three times the size of a 35mm frame, which means finer grain, smoother tonal gradations, and a depth and richness to images that 35mm simply can't match. The built-in motor drive, full PASM exposure modes, TTL centre-weighted metering, and straightforward control layout make it feel far more approachable than many medium format cameras of its era. The 150mm f/3.5 lens is equivalent to roughly 95mm in 35mm terms, making it a natural portrait length that produces beautiful subject separation and the smooth, dimensional rendering that medium format is known for. If you've been curious about medium format, this is the camera to start with.
