New at 645, and I like it!

I recently got a 6x7 Pentax, which prompted me to look for another Pentax 645. I did, and I love te 645 too. Here is some samples of my first roll shot with the Pentax 645:

Good for you! Hope you enjoy it... I followed the same path from P6x7 to P645 and enthusiastically ended up with 4 of one and two of the other... Have fun!

Must disclose, this camera is an unRF, not a rangefinder, but kind of SLR.

I loved my Pentax 645. The lenses were amazingly sharp. They also handled well although they were heavy. Like Doug, I ended up with a couple of them and a bag of lenses before digital drew me away from film cameras.

Enjoy.

I'm late to using 120, but I like all the different sizes. The negs are fun to look at when you finish developing. Scans I get on my V500 are awesome from the cameras I have.

I liked my 645n so much I bought a 645nII as a backup. Lovely lenses and very sensible ergonomics on the body.

You're going to like shooting 645 format. I find 645 to be the perfect compromise between 35mm and the larger formats. After shooting 35mm for a few years, I got ahold of a Mamiya 645, and it was a significant difference. I think the negs are 2.7x the size of 135, and they're a joy to print. Enjoy the 645, it could be the start of a long friendship...
