Hi All,
I currently use a Nikon D800E system along with an assortment of some lenses i.e. a Zeiss 21 f/2.8, Sigma 35 f/1.4 Art series. I use this system primarily for landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes etc. I have for long being wanting to move to a medium format system, however the cost has always been a prohibiting factor.
I have recently been given an offer for a PhaseOne 645DF body + Phase One P45+ digital back + Schneider 80mm f/2.8 lens - all for roughly US$ 8200. Its used equipment and the sales rep told me that the camera has been sent to Phase One for replacing the low pass filter; and once back - I could make this deal.
I wanted your guidance on a) whether this is a good deal and b) what are things I should watch out for / look for when making this deal.
I'm a novice as far as MF is concerned and this would be my first real MF purchase.
I have time till next Monday to make a decision.
Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Deb
