Pentax 645Z + D-FA 35mm f/3.5 HD AL (IF) W/C

The Pentax 645Z is equipped with a large CMOS image sensor of 43.8 x 32.8 mm. Thanks to an imaging area that is about 1.7 times bigger than a full-frame 35 mm format, a scene can be recorded with more focus and atmosphere. Additionally, because the depth of field is shallow, the blurring effects can be controlled freely. The Pentax 645Z is even more effective when used to focus on a single point that you want to express for exciting photos.

This medium-format camera has about 51.4 million effective pixels. This amount of pixels is a big advantage when photographing subjects that require a high resolution, such as landscapes. The difference in sharpness and details is clearly observable, even in A3-size prints.

Features of the Pentax 645Z

• CMOS sensor of 51 MP, ISO 204800
• Full HD video
• Tiltable 3.2" LCD monitor
• LiveView function for photo and video
• RGB metering sensor of approximately 86,000 pixels
• New SAFOX XI auto focus system
• PRIME III image processor

Optical viewfinder

To make the camera body more compact, a trapezoidal prism was used. The mount is tilted forward at 9° from the body, further optimising the optical route for a shorter overall height. A Kepplerian telescope type is used for the optical system of the eyepiece, achieving both a high magnification factor and wide angle of view.

Dust-proof, weather-resistant construction

With a dust-proof and splash resistant construction, this camera anticipates on poor weather conditions that can be encountered when shooting outdoor. 76 different places including buttons, dials, and covers are carefully sealed to keep out raindrops, humidity, and dust.

4K interval movies

The Pentax 645Z is equipped with the 4K interval movies function, allowing you to make recordings at a specific interval and connect them to record as a single movie. The resolution is about 4 times higher than that of Full HD. With this feature you can experience the world of movies with a super high-resolution. Full HD and HD are also supported.

SAFOX 11 Auto Focus system

The AF system used on the PENTAX 645Z is SAFOX 11. In the optical system, diffraction lenses are used for suppressing aberration. By sharpening images on the sensor, a beautiful focusing precision is achieved. A light source detection sensor is also included, enabling the cancellation of the most minute influence on AF from specific artificial light sources. There are 27 AF points available. 25 points are cross-type focus points equipped with line sensors, both horizontally and vertically.

The design of the Pentax-D FA 645 35mm F3.5 HD AL (IF) wide-angle lens is inspired by the Pentax-FA 645 35mm F3.5 AL [IF], known for its sharp image quality. Thanks to the addition of a newly designed high-grade aspherical optical element, the Pentax 645 35mm is optimalised for the digital world. Aberrations of the lens are minimised and the special high-grade Pentax HD Coating ensures a high-contrast, high-resolution image, free of flare and ghosting, even under difficult lighting conditions such as backlight.

The Pentax-D FA 645 35mm is a wide-angle lens (27.5mm 35mm equivalent), making it ideally suitable for photographing landscapes and architecture. With a maximum aperture of F3.5, a minimum focusing distance of 0.3 meters and a maximum magnification of 0.25 times, the lens can also be used for making close-ups. The internal focus mechanism keeps the total length of the lens unchanged during focusing, and allows the user to maintain the ideal balance and stability during hand-held shooting. This lens features a nine-blade, rounded diaphragm to produce a beautiful bokeh effect.
