Pentax 645n Kit

Specs / Camera Info

Most avid film photographers have probably used or at least heard of the Pentax 645N camera before due to it being a much better financial option compared to the Contax 645. The Pentax 645N is a medium format SLR camera with autofocus, creating 6×4.5 format images. The camera most commonly uses a 75mm F2.8 lens and is compatible with other Pentax 645 lenses and backs.

This camera uses a shutter-speed knob ranging from 4 seconds to 1/1000th of a second and has an LCD viewfinder that showcases the shutter speed, aperture, and focus indicator. It also has a self-timer function, as well as multiple shot or multiple exposure switch. The Pentax 645N uses 120 roll film (16 exposures) or 220 roll film (32 exposures), and the film is loaded onto an interchangeable film holder. It requires 6 AA batteries that will allow you to shoot around 130 rolls of 120 film or 100 of 220 film. Shows [D] icon in top left when edge data imprinting is on. The lenses for this camera are manual focus (A) and auto focus (FA). The manual focus lenses came out with the 645, but they are the same mount, so they will work just fine, though you will have manual focus. The FA and A versions are the same optics, just one is manual and one is auto. They are extremely sharp, I use the 45mm F2.8.

One thing that is wonderful about this system is that Pentax designed all the 67 system lenses to be used on it with an adapter. The 67 system has the coveted 105mm F2.4, which is a stellar portrait lens and one most people use.
