A friend of mine recently purchased a used (truly like new) Pentax 645D, with four AF lenses. This is the first opportunity I've had to see this camera "in person". I was VERY impressed with the camera itself and the first 17x22 prints I've seen from his 645D images.
With the many excellent Pentax 645 & 67 manual focus lenses I already own, I've decided that the next camera I purchase will be a Pentax 645D. No more this, that or the other excuse.....my next step up in MFD will be the 645D.
I can't think of any other 40mp, medium format, weather sealed camera which is available for between $8800 (new) and $6000 (used)....can you?
That's not to say that my CFV-16II will be up for sale anytime soon. On a sunny day, who needs weather sealing? ;-)
Of course, if I could afford a Leica S2/S and a few lenses.....different story.
