Pentax’s Medium Format 645Z Gets Buried in Sand and Drenched by a Shower
We have seen countless camera tests over the years but we’ve never seen anything like the new video-capable medium format Pentax 645z with its weather-sealed body that definitely looks dust and water proof. We don’t know anyone (and don’t recommend anyone) that has put their camera through this kind of treatment but with the boasted features perhaps it will start a new trend to take your camera into the shower in case the momentum calls for a little “Wet & Wild” pictorial.
Beyond this feature, there are plenty of additional reasons to get excited about the new medium format Pentax 645z from its 4K video ready capabilities to the whopping 51.4 MP CMOS 43.8 x 32.8 mm sensor as mentioned in an earlier post. There has never been a medium format camera with this impressive of specs available for $8496.95. Pentax is setting the new low price and upping the bar with quality that others basically have no choice but follow.

Hasseblad has also slashed their prices and Leica is rumored to unveil their new video capable S2 flagship at the Photokina event in Germany this September. These are exiting times in medium format camera land since the prices are dropping and quality is only getting better. Tell us, what kind of medium format camera would you get?

I do night photography of railroad trains but
Have limed myself just by using the EV setting and a tripod.
As I’ve found fooling with appeture is more of a waste of time.
What I’d like to know i. Terms of mega flash to really
Capture a freight train on motion, who makes a strobe
which could give off a huge burst of light for least amount of
Money. Course, this could apply if say your shooting
A few ladies on the wing of say a 747.
As I wonder how many would mind standing super
Close to a freight train rolling by at 65mph. Or even riding
Along in a box car at such a speed in the wee wee hours.
So huge burst of light and your fastest len.
