The ZD Digital back allows you to shoot RAW or jpeg files (or both at the same time), lets you choose CF or SD storage media, provides the ability to add a Low-Pass filter for special applications, and much more.
The 645AFD II camera can be fully automatic (Program mode), let you do all of the work (Manual mode) or anything in between (exposure compensation, focus lock, Aperture or shutter priority).
Using 120/220 film, the 90° angle of view is
equivalent to an ultra-wide angle 22mm focal length (compared to 35mm format)
and for digital capture it acts as a normal/wide angle lens. This
state-of-the-art lens design maintains high contrast and resolution continuously
from infinity focus to the 13.75" minimum focusing distance. The characteristic
deep depth of field will be an advantage for many applications, including
landscape, group and documentary photography. Each lens element is precisely
polished and coated using Mamiya’s proprietary multi-coating process to increase
light transmission, dramatically reduce flare, and ensure crisp clean whites and
vibrant, yet natural colors. An independent manual focus/autofocus setting ring
is located on the lens for quick changes in and out of autofocus while
maintaining a natural camera balance.
While a camera body and lenses are key elements to a camera outfit, it’s the accessories that make it a complete system. Whether you are shooting close-ups or working in cold climates, Mamiya has the accessories you’ll need to get the job done.
