Super images. No idea what your previous camera was, but you'll feel sad anytime the 645D isn't used. No going back.

Thanks,

I could not agree with you more! I fear my other cameras may start to collect dust now :P

This forum is full of people also owning FF bodies. Many say they would rather shoot digital medium format. It was one of the things that convinced me to try dmf. Conventional wisdom says FF is about equivalent to mf. Not my experience. Enjoy the camera.

Great! I like it. One point of interest in a great big stadium.

Well, OK, I will just say this. I own the 645Z, 645D, K-1, K-3, K-5, K-20, and K-10 plus 645N and MZ-S film cameras. Over time I have basically settled down to using the K-1 and 645Z, occasionally the 645D or one of the APS-C cameras. I like the 645D from an image quality standpoint, but it is a slow camera to shoot with. K-1 IQ is so good that for all practical purposes in my use it is just as good as the 645Z. Now if National Geographic hires me to do a series of large animal posters, of course I am going with the Z, but every time I look in my mailbox there is no offer from National Geographic. Therefore, my use of the K-1 or 645Z is mainly lens related. The Pentax-D FA 645 90mm f 2.8 is so good that it makes you really sorry you spent $10,000 to buy one little Leica lens, and using the 90mm causes me to select the 645Z. On the other hand, the medium format Mamiya 645 A 120mm f 4.0 macro 1:1 is so good that I choose the K-1 to use it because it is not adaptable to the 645Z. So my choice of the K-1 or the 645Z is not really much related to image quality but to other factors.

I have several fast medium format lenses, most of them f 2.8 and a few even larger apertures such as the Pentax 67 105mm f 2.4.

I thought it would be neat if people who owned an ƒ2.8 would post their best photos taken ONLY at ƒ2.8 or wider.

I was wondering if any forum members would post their photos taken ONLY AT ƒ2.8 or wider (FROM ANY LENS, MAKE, or MODEL... as long as on a Pentax camera of course!).

Thanks!
Are purpose built camera lenses required, or can I post a pic with a Leica 90mm F2.5 Colorplan projection lens adapted to the Pentax 645Z.

Thanks,
barondla

I haven't figured out a solid adapter yet. This shot used a generic P67 to P645 lens adapter. The hole is too big, by a lot. So I wrapped the Leica lens in corrugated cardboard and shoved it into the small opening of the adapter. The lens is pushed back into the mirror box, it actually stops at the electrical contacts. It isn't possible to get or keep the lens parralel to the sensor so sharpness and focus are off. I'll work on that.



Thanks for looking,
barondla

I am thinking you mean a generic P67 to P645 adapter, not the other way around.:>) I have never seen a P645 to P67 adapter, and see no reason for making one. At least you got some kind of image, not bad one at all.

Yes a P67 to P645 adapter. I'll fix it in the original post. Amazed a lens can cause swirly bokeh, in this application, and doesn't when projecting slides.
