Single frame of 1920x1080 HD unprocessed video from the Pentax 645Z. Used the Pentax 645 manual 35mm lens. I find the video has all the same color attributes of the still pics. Scene was lit with daylight from two windows and three 22W (150W equivalent) soft white LED bulbs in one desk lamp and two floor lamps. The video feature is why I chose the Pentax 645Z over any other MF camera.

I have to ask: To your eye, bobspez, how closely does the image of the wall color behind the guitars as seen on your monitor viewing this site match your eye's view of the same wall when lit the same way? Thanks.

The colors were all spot on. The only processing I did was to add a bit of darkness to my face complexion as I looked a bit pale. The light behind me is from a window with closed white blinds and a sheer curtain.

Heres the link to the video. My part is on the right side of the screen, my friend's part on the left.

Nice park bench pano.
I was just in Seattle (Green Lake) last night.

Great shot, Mike----I'm curious about the color. Was there a bunch of sunset light, or sodium vapor lights?

Thanks. Come to think of it, I haven't been in that area for a long time now.

that is definitely light pollution, possibly from Modesto or Stockton.

Trying out newly acquired Pentax 67 100mm f 4.0 macro on the 645Z. Folks, it's a macro and then some. I think I will like it as just a versatile walk-about lens, going from fill-the-screen macro up to approximately normal view.

Looks like it does well on the Z. It was a bit too short on the 67 and I wished Pentax had upgraded the 135 macro with a longer macro like a 165mm. I use the 165LS for macro work mostly. Its f/32 is essential.

Thank you for those observations. I will give the 165 a try myself. I have two of them, the LS and the 2.8. However, I think the 100 is going to get regular use with the Z.

Mike, Do you have to deal with fog forming on the lens for these night shots? Up here where I live that is often a problem.
