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).
With an angle of
view of 64 degrees, this lens is equivalent to a 34mm lens in 35mm format. With
minimal perspective change, it produces the most natural image of all the wide
angle lenses. A floating element mechanism improves resolution at the periphery
in close-ups, for image sharpness all the way out to infinity. This lens is
suitable for a wide range of situations, from general photography to scenics. It
is designed to provide the feel of a standard lens with a slight wide angle
effect.
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.
