Thanks for the well wishes and advice. I’ll tell you, I picked that baby up today with the 28-45 and holy crap, you knew you were holding something quite different. From the size, to the layout to the shutter sound, I fell a little bit in love after looking after them for so long. The downside was I didn’t have a chance to do anything with it today. Need to finish my other assignments first and the. I’m jumping in and going to do some of my own rudimentary comparisons for my own ettification mostly just to get a feel for it.
But seriously, that thing sitting in the shelve with my others looks like daddy came home and the kids were all just standing around.
Look forward to learning more about it.

Thought I’d add my two cents. Shooting with a Nikon D850 and just went a bought a 1,000 click 645z with a nice lens package. I just had to scratch that Pentax itch you could say. I shoot commercial advertising and a lot of product photography so I’m looking forward to seeing what this camera can do. Thinking the 120 or 150 macro would be a good add? Have the 90 macro coming along with the 28-45 and the 55 2.8
Oh, the purpose of this post. As an ex-Ricoh marketing guy I called a still Ricoh buddy and asked to check and see what he could tell me about the roadmap for an upgrade to the 645z. Sorry, no names but he spoke to the marketing person over in imaging and she stated there is nothing in the pipeline and for me to go ahead and buy if I wanted one now.
So I guess you can do with it what you want, but I don’t think this is really going to surprise anyone on here.
