How much is a Pentax 645 worth?
Price. The price of the Pentax 645 is definitely an attraction. Pentax 645s can range from $130 to $650 normally, with the lower end being the original 645 and the higher end being the newest 645nii and the 645n taking the middle price ground. The Pentax 645n/nii with the 75mm FA lens run around $700-1200 on eBay.
Why is Contax 645 so expensive?
Re: Contax 645 prices surprisingly high. The reason it is dropping is the result of the diminishing supply of digital back, not the dropping of the demand. You can hardly find any digital back for Contax 645. Hasselblad H1/H2 is getting cheap too. This is also due to the lack of digital back.
Does the Pentax 645 have autofocus?
The Pentax 645N is a real camera. The Pentax 645N adds autofocus, matrix metering, a shutter-speed knob, an exposure compensation knob, a self timer, a much brighter and sharper viewfinder with far more displayed information and film-edge data imprinting!
How many frames does a Pentax 645 have?

What film does Pentax 645 use?
The Pentax 645 is a medium format single-lens reflex system camera manufactured by Pentax. It was introduced in 1984, along with a complementary line of lenses. It captures images nominally 6 cm × 4.5 cm on 120, 220, and 70 mm film, though the actual size of the images is 56 mm × 41.5 mm.
Is the Pentax 67 autofocus?
Pentax 67 vs Contax 645 Yes, it’s heavy, and no it doesn’t have autofocus, but that’s ok. It produces the lovely portraits I want it to and nailing focus is easy with the large viewing screen. The Pentax 67 has a look to it as unique as the Contax combo.

Can I use 120 film in a 220 back?
Using 120 in a 220 back will increase the drag on the film during winding, adding excessive stress to the components. But the film will be in the same position (unless the excessive pressure deforms the paper).
Can you use 120 film in a 220 camera?
JDMvW. On the Rapid Omega 100, 120 film will work in a 220 back, if a little awkwardly; but this is probably specific to each brand/make of backs. 120 film is thicker than 220, BTW.
What kind of filter does Pentax 645 use?
It’s perfectly balanced on the 645 body making it comfortable to hand hold. It also uses a standard 77mm front filter thread. Future iterations of this lens increased this to 82mm, which drives filter prices sky high. I’ve used a variety of filter combinations, including the lee filter holder and 105mm polarizer at the end with no vignetting.
How is the Pentax D FA 35mm autofocus?
Pentax-D FA 35mm f3.5 – Autofocus w/Updated Elements Min Focus = 0.3m First thing you notice is that this lens is well built. There is heft, solid construction, and smooth actuation of all moving components. The focus ring is fluid and precise. There is nice damping, but since the barrel is stout, focus glides easily in and out.
When did the Pentax 67II model come out?
