CONTAX 645 RENTAL UPGRADE
For some of us, no where to go is a good thing because I doubt if my Contax will need a firmware upgrade and I have yet to travel through a city where Contax 645's weren't for sale. What I really fail to understand is everyone talks about the upgrade path of medium format cameras (not backs, cameras) and seems to worry that their blad or contax has no where to go.
Today you can buy a 2 year old Maserati for the price of a new Cadillac, a two year old Cadillac for the price of a new Toyota and looking at the demo prices from all the medium format makers today might be a good time for someone that is jonesing for a medium format back to buy a demo back, a used blad or Contax and start shooting, pretty much at the Toyota price. Personally I don't see a Mamiya 645 as a luxury item, but to each his own.Įven the current pricing of medium format mimics cars. Michael mentions Mercedes and Toyotas in his article and in fact most reviewers rarely fail to draw a medium format camera to luxury car comparison. Well, I still think the car analogy makes sense and let's be realistic, these cameras have been compared to cars since day one. So you can have your 1000 horsepower in any flavor you want. We've even had customers jurry rig a digital back to a Holga.
CONTAX 645 RENTAL SERIES
But since you seem not to like Mamiya, you can instead buy a P65+ to mount on a Contax, Rollei 6008, Mamiya RZ, Mamiya 645, Hasselblad H1/H2, Hasselblad 500 series, and in addition use hasselblad 200 series lenses, pentax lenses, or use any of dozens of view/technical cameras.
