Back in the day I often backpacked with a Nikon F3 and a Pentax 645 plus lenses and tripod. I'm slowly digitizing my slides and negatives and falling in love again with the images from the 645.. I've got some great lenses, all manual, and thinking about getting a digital Pentax body and perhaps some digital lenses eventually while I'm still young enough to carry the weight. I mostly shoot landscapes. Is anyone using a digital 645 with manual lenses and what do you think?
You might wish to consider the Fuji medium format. I held and and took a few shots at a couple of big camera stores in Japan with their latest R model. It is pounds lighter than the Hass. Or Pentax, and is very competively priced. I am thinking of selling off a couple dozen of my cameras and going back to medium.
