I agree. Also we should remember that pros bought Canon 1Ds at almost the same price ($7,995 in 2002) with 11MP and approximately the same ISO range. And compared to other MF dslrs it is cheap. DagT >Well. 10.000$ is a lot of money. >But a Taxi driver in Denmark will gladly invest 100.000$

Well. 10.000$ is a lot of money. But a Taxi driver in Denmark will gladly invest 100.000$ getting a Mercedes, which is the most common cap arround here. Clearly a photographer would buy a 10.000$ camera, if he/she wanted to make a livning, doing high resolution photographs (portraits for commerc

I guess the 645 is a good field camera format, esp. for weddings. I stand corrected. But 40MP for weddings? Hmmm. For birding -- lots of data for blowing it up. For landscapes -- lots of horizon detail. Ya, might work. :-) Still, couple it with some 4x5 lenses ... Sincerely, Collin Brendemuehl

The old 645 and 645N were always well regarded field cameras for nature photography. IIRC, one of the first reviews of the 645D was a nature photography website. As I remember, it was a fine example of technical prose with a subtext of drooling. On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 8:41 AM, P N Stenquist wr

$10K is very price competitive with the Canon 1DsmIII and Nikon D3x and an absolute steal in the MFDB world (where $10K normally gets you a 22MP back, camera extra and 39MP goes for $25k).Considering that both the 1Ds and D3x have monthly sales numbers which double the entire MFDB market's annual s

I would anticipate a rise in prices. Think about the target audience for this camera -- the studio. It is not likely to be a field camera. This will compete against the high-$$ backs for the 'blads, the high-end Canon DSLR, and the 4x5 scanning backs. Just mount this to an adapter on a 4x5 and us

Maybe they are hoping that the value of 645 lenses will go up? I would imagine the pros will buy what they need and the affluent enthusiasts will buy what they want. On Sun, Oct 10, 2010 at 8:22 PM, Mark Roberts wrote: > I'm just getting around to listing my last two Pentax 645 lenses on > eBay
