I'm about to go mid format. Fell on a nice deal of a Pentax 645 (model
released in 1998 I think, not the AF model).
There are 2 Pentax SMC-A 645 lenses that come with it :
- 55/2,8 (brand new)
- 150/3,5 (2nd hand)
The deal : 1500 euro
My questions to the specialists :
- is this type of camera OK to buy 2 nd hand or is it advisable to buy it
new ? Noticed there's a lot of electronics in it. Is it realiable, solid
enough for long term use without failures ??
- is the price right ?
- won't I have problems shooting infrared with it ?? Having the problems
with some Canon slr's in mind.
Thx for all help, all kinds of remarks are welcome
