Cheap(ish) medium format digital

[AshleyC]

I saw in this weeks Amateur Photographer an advert for the Pentax 645D + 55mm lens for £2900 which seemed silly cheap for a medium format digital setup. Anyone had any experience of this camera? It is a few years old which may not be the best sign for digital gear, but the price is tempting when you compare it against the big boys in the 35mm world.

Are you shooting studio?

on and off yes, not professionally

I don't know a lot of people who shoot with them I have used the 645z which is the newer model it was absolutely awesome but imo is a studio camera through and through.... guess it really depends on if you need the megapixels and dynamic range obv its a quality camera but not one that covers all bases...........
