Hi Pramote:

I see you're using a 645Z! Any thoughts on the camera you'd like to share? I know you have experience with many systems - maybe more than Guy. :ROTFL: :poke:

Regards,

Tom...Thanks for your complements! I appreciate you comparing me to a legend :)

Photography equipments and guitars are my weakness. My wife stops bugging me long ago. She's probably known I am hopeless :) I've skipped the sport cars and girls though.

The 645Z is a great great camera! I've had only 2 lenses (25mm and 55mm) and they're excellent. The 25mm even has a built-in CPL filter. How thoughtful it is!

It likes a medium-format point and shoot. The camera is as advance as Nikon/Canon SLR. Accessories are so cheap. The wireless remote is like 7 bucks. It makes Phase One DF a shame!

It's also fantastic for shooting stars and milky ways. The ISO 6400 is useable.

Love it! Love it!

Here: :clap:

I'm glad you're enjoying the camera; I feel the same way about the 645D. I may have to get a Z for the high ISO however.
You're fortunate to have an understanding wife. I do too and I also have skipped the cars and girls, but maybe that was a mistake :facesmack:

Just kidding (in case my wife sees this).

Pramote, you forgot to say how pretty it is... :D

Welcome to the club. (Don't speak too well of this camera, Tom is really really trying not to buy one and so far no one is helping him. ;) )

Thanks Will.
Well! At least, it's not as ugly as the Mamiya RZ, my all time favorite :)
Bet me! Tom will have a hard time resisting. Quality of a sensor (high ISO) and advanced camera features are hard to beat in this price range.

Yep, resistance is futile; more a question of when rather than if. Right now I'm considering that an A7r or its successor might be more useful to me than a Z. I'm adopting a wait-and-see attitude on the Z :watch:

I don't find the appearance of the Z or D all that bad, but not as pretty as a 645N for sure. One poster (Uaiomex?) described the appearance of the Z as reminiscent of a 1950s Greyhound bus. Ironically, Pentax added the silver embossment to the name on the body, which makes it look like a license plate. :ROTFL:

Will, have you ordered one yet? It's inevitable.

I am right behind you, Tom...

Funny thing you mention the "license" plate, that, on purely aesthetics, is the thing I don't like. The black on the D is prettier. But you put a A 35mm lens on the either camera and it does look a bit like a pig. A cuddly, adorable pig, but a pig none the less.

But back to having fun...

Leica S2, 30-90, Lee Big Stoper, 29 sec exposure. Can't decide between the color and the BW version. Shot a Cape Breton.

Another good reason to put a lens shade on the 35 - a big one.

Very nice - I vote for the color version!! Although maybe tone down the blue stones on the shore a bit.
