asimrazakhan Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Is the digital 645 already nailed shut in a coffin or is there still some hope? And whatever happened to the idea of having a digital insert that could go into a Pentax 645NII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 The digital Pentax 645 was officially scrapped about six months to a year ago. It was not economically feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_gleason1 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 "The digital Pentax 645 was officially scrapped about six months to a year ago." Well, there was this thread about 6 months ago, in response to an item at Luminous Landscape. But, some doubt remained at that time: http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00L6TR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_cunningham Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 When looking at my local camera shop website I came across the following: <a href="http://www.fotokonijnenberg.nl/product_list.php?idc=1749">Pentax 645 digital</a> Curiously is is placed in DSLRs rather that medium format digital. At first I thought it might be old but 30 MP, I'm not so sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham_mitchell Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I seem to remember that Pentax announced it was dropping out of medium format altogether to concentrate on the consumer DSLRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_cunningham Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 This is from Feb 2007. So perhaps? <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/21/pentax-busts-out-hasselbladian-31-6-megapixel-645-digital/">Pentax 645 digital</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuri_huta Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Aparently, we were very close to seeing the Pentax 645D, although the merger with Hoya put that project on the backburner. However, it looks like it is not dead. Read the last portion of the article (Pentax Manager for Imaging in Europe). http://www.bjp-online.com/public/showPage.html?page=689112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
