DISTINCT FORMAT. UNMISTAKABLE BRILLIANCE.

Following on from the Pentax 645D launched in 2010, the new 645Z has retained some of the features such as the weather-resistant, dustproof construction and the general look and feel of the camera. However, much has changed with a newly designed, large CMOS image sensor with 51.4 effective megapixels; a tiltable, high-resolution LCD monitor; a state-of-the-art AF system with a live-view function; a high-precision exposure control system; and a more durable, dependable shutter unit. When using the 645Z, you’ll also find it responds much faster to your commands and that the camera features full HD movie recording.

About the smc D-FA 645 55mm f/2.8 lens:

Incorporating high-performance, hybrid aspherical optical element in its optics, this new standard lens offers exceptional image-resolving power with outstanding brightness levels even at the edges, while compensating various aberrations to a minimum. All lens characteristics are optimized for digital photography: for instance, flare and ghost images are minimized by applying exclusive lens coatings to optical elements and employing anti-reflection materials for the interior of the lens barrel. As the result, this lens can bring out the full potential of the PENTAX 645Z medium-format digital SLR camera.
