My Pentax 645D Flash Setup (Using Sony trigger)

I recently picked up the Pentax 645D medium format Kodak CCD digital camera. I planned to use this camera in the studio, but rather than buy a whole new flash trigger, I found a way to reuse my Sony flash trigger. In this video, I'll share how I did it!

Thanks for the video. FYI: the Godox transmitter for Pentax is not that expensive and would be awesome for portraits because it does TTL.

Yes! Thanks for watching. Honestly this video is a bit silly for my setup but I hope it's helpful to someone else!

I still have my Pentax 645D even after purchasing my dream camera (Phase One XF/IQ280)

[@ColtonMatocha]

The XF is my dream camera too 🤣 For me though, it will probably just remain a dream lol. Do you still find yourself shooting with the Pentax?

I woke up at 04:30 and saw you'd posted a 645D video. Then i saw it was about hooking up a flash - i cursed you, had a game of Solitaire, and went back to sleep. However, having reawakend at a civilized hour... had some breakfast... put the coffee on... i've now watched this disappointing diversion and found it to be (Surprise!) really useful. So, you tricked me. Have a great day, man - take that 645 out for a bit of Street. All the best from the swamp Downunder.

Don't worry! We're ramping up! Each 645 video will get better and better until they don't feel like tricks at all! 🤣 That was just the first thing I made because my first project with the camera required flash and I'm too cheap (or poor, but we'll go with cheap) to buy a trigger specific to Pentax hotshoe mounts! Some street photos are in the works! 🛣️

@@ColtonMatocha Uh-huh. It's funny the preconceptions some of us suffer from. My thinking on the 645D has been around it being a biggish but rugged landscape camera - never occurred to me to keep it in the dining room. I do understand however that it can be a bit of a problem in some types of studio work because of its processing speed. Upcoming Vids will tell us more! Anyway, it's entirely off the purchase radar for me for the next year - I just scored a treasure trove of 4/3 gear: stuff I never expected to see at a price I couldn't turn down. And it is amazing gear (pity I need to sell some of it, but other parts of life have to be attended to as well). Have a great day.
