Tomlinson\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI discovered very quickly that the Pentax 645 was much easier to use than the Hasselblad 500c. I got more photos per roll, too, even though they were smaller than the 6-by-6cm of the 500c. The were\/are 6-by-4.5cm, which is where the \"645\" comes from in the name. One thing I did notice was the clarity and sharpness of that prime lens. To my eyes, it was just as good if not a tiny bit better than the renowned Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f\/2.8 prime lens. I started shooting with the Pentax 645 a lot because unlike the 500c and the two Mamiyas, it isn't a pain to use. It acts a lot like a 35mm SLR or even a DSLR, much more so than my three other medium-format cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 09, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42718366924863,"sku":"9781387869817","price":41.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/5cf96b2a15acf7557c5d725098bd8809.webp?v=1765081667","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/medium-format-photography-i-pentax-645-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
