Just bought a used Pentax 645Z and Auto focus 55mm lens.

I'm still a little shaken by this but my bid for a used Pentax 645Z medium format camera and matching 55mm f2.8 Pentax auto focus lens was successful. I got it for $2795 plus tax and shipping = $3025. It also shoots 35mm full frame equivalent HD (2K) video. My mind is truly blown.

Thank you. From video reviews I have seen it does make a click and slap sound reminiscent of the old 1940's newsmen cameras.

Thank you. The lowest I've seen for a new camera and lens is $5500. I wasn't expecting the used set to sell for less than $3400. My top bid was $2850, so I really wasn't expecting to win it at all.
