Wonderful video! Enjoyed it very much. Pentax cameras were awesome when I was a young teenager. You would see them everywhere.. But, When the medium format Pentax 645 came out it wad s game changer. I love this camera dearly. Thank you for this wonderful video. It was very detailed and learned a thing or two which I didn't know as well. God Bless, you.. Roger

The new Canon and one rumoured to be released soon by Nikon are 24MP. Thats rendered medium format, film or digital, redundant. Australia's most successful portrait photographer now uses a Leica SL/2 with a Leica M 75 Summilux on an adapter. Quote: "The only reason I didn't buy the Lumix version is because I like Leicas menu system better". He said that he can get 90% there with in camera settings now, so its cut down his workflow by 50%. That means he can get images to his clients the same day as the shoot.

I have been thinking about this comment for a long time now. But I still don't understand what this comment has to do with the experience of analog photography in medium format!?

@@apertureonepointfour Its to do with turnaround time to clients. Its usually same day as the shoot. Most clients now restrict images to 24mp, like ad agencies, publications etc. Fine art is different.
