Recently my wife and I got talked into doing some wedding photography. We are amateur enthusiasts mostly though we have done a little paid work and I have some pictures on some stock sites. I use a Mamiya AFDII with a Leaf Aptus II-8 back. My wife uses a Sony A7R2.
The wedding was delayed for an hour or more which put the photo sessions into the early evening when it was getting dark and I really struggled with ISO 100-200 getting anything that looked like I new what I was doing. The Portraits were ok because I brought a soft box and speed light which gave me something to show.
My wife pictures were good plus I had borrowed a Nikon D7100 so all was not lost.
So my questions is. I really like medium format. So, if I upgrade on an extreme budget would an iq140-iq160 in sensor plus have nice clean files to work on at iso800-1200 or would I be better off with a Pentax 645Z? The price is about the same as I already have some Mamiya lenses and would have to start over with the Pentax.
Thanks for your input.
