Like Rollei and the older Hasselblad and older Leica lenses, they just keep working!)Īnyway, I am sure you will get really fine files from both, and the Pentax sensor is no slouch. A ready market, at least now (there is a large float, and prices as Monza says are firm, and likely to stay, at least for a few year.
no, I guess tha's another song :ROTFL: FWIW, no failure of anything in over 10 years, including the film era.)Ħ. REALLY reliable (I keep saying thi, but so far, and I have every imaginable accessory, all lenses, 3 flash, 2 bodies and a partidge in a. The Zeiss-design lenses are some of the best MF even made I see little or no degradation at 60MP and assume 80MP will not strainģ.There are adapters for the Hasselblad V series (including 5 non-leaf shutter lenses ) The 350mm SA is likely the best lens made, ever (according to the designer )Ĥ.Interchangeable eye and waist-level findersĥ.

#BEST CONTAX 645 LENSES UPGRADE#
Upgrade path and LOTS of backs available at good prices (including up to P65+). Thyat said, Pentax can give you a nice range of lenses, though you will likely pay more than for comparable used Contax Zeiss-design lenses.ġ. To say the least I am known here as a Contax fan (maniac?) I was very tempted to go this route myself a while back as it's a superb camera platform IMHO. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing under 1000 and recommended the best. However, there's still the question of support in the future although there seem to be plenty of avid Contax users and community. What’s the best camera for less than 1000 The best cameras for under 1000 should have good ergonomics and controls, great image quality and be capture high-quality video. The Contax has great Zeiss glass and also pretty much any digital back can be found for it even today should you wish to go that route later.
#BEST CONTAX 645 LENSES PRO#
(I still prefer the 645 Pro TL to my 645 AFD II & Phase One DF btw!). It was a real shame that it, plus the Mamiya 645 Pro TL system, ended up without a digital upgrade path. I shot with the 645N II for a while years ago and it was a very very capable camera with most of the conveniences of 35mm SLR systems. The Pentax glass would be usable if you decided to go to the Pentax 645D in the future, although I'll leave it to the Pentax users to discuss the merits of existing non-digital glass on that body. If not, one consideration is that both systems are now discontinued, assuming that you are referring to the Pentax 645 N system.
