Hi,
1st time posting here. Anybody knows where can I get more information on 6X4.5 cameras from Pentax and Mamiya? I am trying to find out what are the differences on P645/645N/645NII and M645Pro/M645ProTL/M645AF/M645AFD.

Thanks

If you have specific questions APUG is a good place to ask. I currently shoot Mamiya 645 AFDII and had a 645pro prior. Really love my Mamiya and you can get fabulous deals on the stuff used over on the big auction site. I'm not familiar with the pentax so I can't make any comparisons.

As far as general info, I'd just google it.

I heard some 645 mamiyas have problem with film flatness, is there any specific type? What are the differences between Mamiya 645AF, AFD, AFDII and AFDIII?

I am not aware of this being an issue. The quality of the images I get are fantastic. Some people are more interested in testing, tinkering & lens resolution than making art. I prefer to make art, but to each their own.

The 645AF is not compatible with digital backs. After that, they just keep making, IMO, minor improvements to things like auto-focus speed, programming functions, ect..
