Critique Welcomed Test Image

[Aldous Lau]

This is just a testing in the shop of the Pentax 645d with the kit len 55mm last night. This camera is impressive and the price is pretty attractive compare with Hasselblad digital. But I didn't bring it home finally since it cost usd 744.00 and the size is kind of big to me....
Wondering are there any 645d users in RPF could share photos / comments pls

Was that shallow DOF calculated Aldous?

Looks good to me - I rather fancy having a digital back to my Blad, but I won't spend the money

You are right Chris. I love this digital back really, love those details of the shallow and all the reflection on the bottons and the edge of the calucator. The overall image quality is superb

Certainly plenty of detail there. I have a friend who is just about (maybe has) bought one of these. I'll find out if he has and try and persuade him to join and report.

PhaseOne P20s are pretty affordable these days Chris. And they are square (4cmx4cm).

You're right Pete, those details really attract mye eyes. The focus speed is not bad at all (at least faster than M9), however one of my concern is the size and the weight of 645D. Personally I think this is a very good digital back with CCD. Wish when 645D II release in the market, the price for this 645D will goes down
