So to summarize....the 645D with less than 5K on shutter, 75 mm lens, and flash unit...approx. $2500 US . My only concerns were the associated problems with the 645D shutter...so I therefore looked for a 645Z .
The 645Z that was posted earlier...I was able to get a lower quote from the owner for the 645Z body with 27K on the shutter, 55mm lens, and 150 lens for about $4700 US . My concerns were with the info I have....the owner purchased the camera 3 months ago from KEH..no extended warranty taken, no history of the 27 K (hobbyist or studio camera, any repairs done to it), no software-etc included. So would you have concerns buying this privately or none at all ???
Otherwise I was thinking of the K1 - but getting the correct digital lenses - not cheap. Or upgrade my K30 body to a K3ii ??
Do I seem a little confused ???
Thanks.
The one for the z seems like a good price, but then again i dont know the history of the camera. I ended up buying a used 645z last year. There was no warranty cant say ive been disappointed, especially with 55 and 150 being my main lenses used. The question that i have would be why did the person only have it for 3 months?
As far as the 645d, idk if you use live view but the 645d doesnt have it. Outside of that plenty of people have captured great pictures from that camera and havent had any issues with the shutter. Look at matts work or some of the older images from mike which are great.
K1 is nice, better lens selection, smaller, and you are able to get wider and more telephoto range
Just some of my thoughts
