I got more photos per roll, too, even though they were smaller than the 6-by-6cm of the 500c. The were\/are 6-by-4.5cm, which is where the \"645\" comes from in the name. One thing I did notice was the clarity and sharpness of that prime lens. To my eyes, it was just as good if not a tiny bit better than the renowned Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f\/2.8 prime lens. I started shooting with the Pentax 645 a lot because unlike the 500c and the two Mamiyas, it isn't a pain to use. It acts a lot like a 35mm SLR or even a DSLR, much more so than my three other medium-format cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem# 9781387869817\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Dealer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546860036390,"sku":"9781387869817","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/c2cf617a-3b33-53a7-a577-99db64423f5e.jpg?v=1726533711","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/medium-format-photography-i-pentax-645","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
