#Contax 645 digital back pro
versions for the Mamiya 645AFD (the Pro Back 645 M) and Contax 645 (645 C). If someone in the know can fill me in on the Contax situation I would be much abliged. DCS Pro Back 645 brings an unprecedented spontaneity to high-res digital. I would like the camera and back to behave as if they belonged together. As much as I like the camera, I really want to make sure I get something that integrates well. When you go to the Contax 645 page, same thing. There was absolutely no mention of the fact that production of the cameras and lenses had stopped. In August 2005, there was no link for new news releases on the ContaxUSA website (ToCAD), as if everything was in limbo since February. The camera has obviously been discontinued for quite some time, so I'd really like to make sure I understand what I might be getting into. Contax 645 medium format camera for digital backs.
Anyway, I'm thinking about giving medium format digital another try and the camera I lust for (Sinar M) I'll never be able to afford, so I'm thinking about the Contax again. Since the Contax also accommodated digital backs, many professional. The camera was fine, but the lenses just didn't stack up to the Zeiss glass of the Contax. The Contax 645 was made by Carl Zeiss primarily as a film camera until 2005. When it came time to try digital the Kodak backs were all the rage but the integration with the contax wasn't that good so I bought a hasselblad H1 and never was happy with it. Can anyone tell me what the Contax 645 digital back compatibility is like? I've owned one many years ago and it was by far my favorite medium format camera, it seemed everything I pointed it at became a great photo.
