Watch the interview with Tanaka & Takaoka of Pentax Overseas Div @ 9:00 time stamp
If there is a new MF camera, what will be the price point you are willing to pay considering a Pentax 17 is around $500 ?
Would be nice to see a return of the Pentax 645. I would be very interested.
Yes, with AF and IBIS!
Ditto for the 67 as well. Or how closely adaptable the 645Z is to the film version.If Pentax still has the tooling for 645NII it would be rather easy to finally give it new life with digital insert and have best of both worlds.
If they designed them well, considering how the Bessa III (W) and GF670 and Mamiya 6/7, a new camera with outstanding optics around the $3-4K might be able to capture quite a bit. MF is still niche, but there are outrageous prices for the Mamiyas.A 6x6 or 6x7 rangefinder like the Fuji 6x9 cameras. Fixed lens, some sort of voodoo laser beam secret agent cheapo rangefinder linked to the lens. I wouldn't buy one because I have several already.
Pure mechanical (if possible??).
It would be a financial disaster.
How should the engineer design IBIS for film, will the film plane moves around?
Or how closely adaptable the 645Z is to the film version.
simple, a switch turning IBIS on or off just like lenses where VR is turned on or off.
IBIS for film, am I reading it right? What for?
Yes, what for?! We know that with film you just turn the iso dial, and bang, you can shoot handheld in the dark with Velvia 50...
IBIS would be at least 10x as useful with film as it is with digital. It's just that you would need to move the entire film cassette - pressure plate - takeup spool assembly to get the stabilisation. I'm afraid that stabilisation in film photography will stay limited to the lenses.
