Pentax 645z

[f/1.2]

Seriously considering one of these for fashion work, they seem to review well is there any major learning curve having not used this type of camera before?

What lenses are you thinking of buying? Wouldn't think it was too far removed from the 645D in terms of shooting which was very DSLR like.

Lenses will be far more expensive, everything else is pretty much the same in principal.

Probably going to get the kit with the 55mm lens and might also pick up the 150mm.

Very similar to using a big SLR. I've got one coming for a try out for a while, I'll report back when it does.

It's the glass that never really appealed to me and the lenses that did appeal were about £3,500. It looks like good competition for Phase One and Hasselblad which is why they responded with massive price cuts. Are you printing really big?

 

[f/1.2]

Yes the images that this will be used for capturing will be printed at a massive size bill boards etc.
