Well....you guys went and did it. You made me do it. You’re all to blame for this. I went and bought a 645D that just showed up on eBay for a fantastic price! So now I’m gonna use that old glass and see what I can produce on a medium format system! I’m coming from A-PSC, so this should be interesting! Thanks to all of you and I’ll share my experience with it soon!
You all are the best, I really mean that! Very helpful people!........at draining my bank account! 🤣👍

Hi,

The same thing happened to me.

The difference being coming from full frame 135 format and having had MF in the past, both film and digital. But that digital was only 16 MP and a 36mm square format. The 135 FF is 16 MP as well. So, the 645D is pretty amazing to me as well.

Enjoy yours!

Stan

Thanks for the reply! That’s an amazing setup you have there. That’s something you don’t see everyday! Thanks for sharing! I’m still waiting for my 645D to show up in the mail. Very excited!!! I also picked up the 300mm A lens and it’s 1.4 teleconverter. I can’t wait to try it all out!!!
