And no, there’s nothing wrong with the 1Ds. So why would I buy another medium format film camera? After all, I am the guy that said that the 1Ds was as good as medium format scanned film, and who consequently sold his Pentax 67and Pentax 645systems in later 2002. I have been using my digital Canon 1Dsalmost exclusively for the past 10 months (since November 2002).
#DIGITAL BACK CONTAX 645 PRO#
I decided that the Contax 645 would be the platform that I would use to investigate these exciting new developments.Ĭontax 645 with 80mm f/2 Planar and Kodak DCS Pro Back ISO 100 But the world of film is fading fast, so why review a film camera? The answer is because though medium format film has been eclipsed of late by high-end 35mm digital, there are several medium format digital backs of 16-22 Megapixelscoming to market that are reasserting medium format’s superiority. The camera has been on the market for some 4 years and is now well establish among both pros and serious amateurs alike. In the case of the Contax 645 I knew right away that I had found a tool with which I would be comfortable and productive. But it’s during this initial familiarization period that one discovers what worksand what doesn’t, and one develops a sense of how well the camera will suit ones needs. Things which later become familiar and routine are fresh and sometimes confusing.

The first 30 minutes with a new camera are for me the most telling. MP-1 Battery Grip and 80mm f/2 Planar Lens
