  • Love this camera

    I spent 8-9 months researching medium format film cameras, and after trying out a few of my friends' cameras (including a Contax, Mamiya, and of course the Pentax 645n), this camera was easily my favorite choice, especially for the price! I love how easy it is to change film quickly or carry additional film backs with me, and the built-in light meter is incredibly accurate. AF is fast with the 75mm FA lens, and while this camera is very heavy, the hand grip is comfortable and I'm able to carry this camera/lens for a few hours without exhaustion. I love how each feature has its own dial. The image scans I've received back from my print lab (The Find Lab) have all been beautiful! I definitely recommend this camera as a great entry to film for any photographer, whether hobbyist or professional.

  • What I've been looking for

    I've been wanting a medium format camera for ages and this one fit the bill for price and the quality I was looking for. I haven't had a chance to test out all it is capable of, but so far it is a great, no light leaks or fog. Idk if this review is for my camera or the type of camera for eBay right now, but in case it's the former - autofocus is nice but not fast, don't expect anything like your dslr. Winding and film advancement is on the noisy side, but that's to be expected. Overall beautiful imagery.

  • One of the best all-around MF film cameras out there.

    If you've never seen one in person, they are smaller than they may seem. If you've shot an RB67, they's positively tiny by comparison. The center weighted metering is awesome. The motor drive is really precise (so unfortunately you can't cheat a 16th frame out of a roll like you can with other cameras). The available lenses are great. You can't go wrong here unless you want autofocus. That will require a step up to the 645 N or NII. Short of that, this is my favorite film camera.

  • It's a big dog

    I've always been a Pentax fan. The quality is there, but with a moderate price tag. The 645 is not a small camera, it's a medium format with weight, 6lbs., with batteries. The viewfinder is more than a bit dark, not sure why, but others have said so too. I'm still shooting get to know the camera rolls of film, so I don't have any shots that are special, I am pleased though.

  • Excellent film camera

    I've had a Pentax 645 camera for awhile now and it's a very good camera but a bit finicky to use so I have wanted to upgrade to the 645N but the prices where to high. I saw this camera, the price was right, so I bought it. The condition of the camera was in excellent condition and everything worked properly and it is a joy to use. The strap that came with it is to thin for me, but not a big issue since it had the lug clips and it was easy to get a wider strap. Overall this was a fantastic deal and I couldn't be happier.

  • First Look

    This just arrived, it looks as good as the photos, I have not run film through it but I believe it was in as good if not better shape than described by the seller. I was also pleased to see it was packaged very well. I am looking forward to giving this camera a try.

  • GREAT SUPPLIER, GREAT PRODUCT

    I am always a little nervous when purchasing from outside the U.S. However, this Japanese supplier is fantastic. I bought a Pentax 645N film camera at a highly competitive price, not sure what I would get for such a low price. Well, what I got appears to be a totally new camera--no dust, no marks, no scratches, nothing that would keep it from appearing like brand new. Therefore, I highly recommend this supplier who gives you more than you expect. Have no fears in dealing with him.

    Shipped fast. Had film developed within two days of receiving. Will most likely be my most used camera.
