So how much for the Phase One 645?

[ralph_jensen]

I know, I know, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it." But Reichmann spends several thousand words on the

camera and never mentions the price (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/phase645.shtml), nor could

I find a price at phaseone.com. Granted, I can't envision buying one, but I can better justify my film expenses

if I know how much PhaseOne/Mamiya are charging for it!

I would guestimate it has to do with which back, here's a P20+ for $9k, camera not included.<br />

As for a package deal? Who knows, probably $15k would be a good guess. <br />

One option.

Hmm. Less than I thought, but more than I have.

...but how come it's called a P20+ back if it's 16 megapixels?

The d300 is a few short too...

As I said on another thread here, I paid US $3450 for my AFD III body - exactly the same as the Phase body.

You can buy a small car or a year's worth of Gas for that! HA

 

After reading the specs I understand now why the canon 1ds/III is so appealing - $3k less, higher ISO, not entirely a smaller sensor size (36mm x 23.9mm?) vs 36.9mm x 36.9. Plus the 1ds/III has more megapixels if thats what people want.

 

I'm happy shooting film...
