The quality of the photo using a 645AF Cam is exceptional! Our sheetrock contractor approved it!

None at all.

The design of Mamiya 645 AF is very simple, yet the quality of this camera is very impressive. For sure, this camera will provide my site a good image appearance.

Nothing at all

It is quite expensive but very worth it. I bought the camera in a package in addition to the 45mm f/2.8 and 150mm f/3.5 and got a free loupe and polaroid back all for about 6 grand. Lots of jack, but much more fun than a cheap used car. One weakness that I have read about is that you must change the focusing screen and use the lens stopped down when using manual focus lenses. click here

Nothing to complain.

Easy to transition from 35mm, controls well laid out, reasonably fast for MF, superb!. Takes great pictures. | UC Decorative Concrete

Has taken forever to deliver a full range of lenses.

Simple, ergo feel. Fairly light and balanced feeling (especially compared to my beastly RZ). Lenses seem quite contrasty when compared to RZ;s Sharpness is there.

Can barely tolerate lack of 1/3 stop increments for aperature in manual mode. When using AF lenses manually, they have too light a touch...could EASILY "bump" focus ring. Also, I'd love to watch a Mamiya tech guy try and put the Polaroid back on quickly...Really bogus interface here. CMON GUYS!!!! Also, in the year 2000 couldn't some type of "matrix" metering system been implemented. Using center weighted after 4 years with N90's puts me back in grade school. 150 and 80 mm lenses dont focus close enough...Can only get 5 ft. from subject with 150mm.

I've only run about 20 rolls through so far...I love the lightweight and balanced feel...I'm not used to the weaknesses listed here...Maybe a 200 roll report soon.

Customer Service

After 10 years with an RZ, Mamiya's service is excellent! They have a users forum on their website for the 645 AF.

Spent 2 hours with Contax 645 at B&H.

Of course, the large negative. AF assist beam (very useful indoors). The magazine switches from 120 to 220 with a simple pressure plate rotation. Mirror and shutter lock up when back is removed. The polaroid back rules.

Slower focus than Pentax 645N. Zoom lenses aren't available yet. Inconvenient with MF lenses.

This camera is an excellent way to get started in medium format photography. I was going to buy the 645n, but I got the chance to try this camera and instantly fell in love. It is no more difficult to use and understand than my EOS-3. It is quite expensive, but very worth it. I bought the camera in a package in addition to the 45mm f/2.8 and 150mm f/3.5 and got a free loupe and polaroid back all for about 6 grand. Lots of jack, but much more fun than a cheap used car. One weakness that I have read about is that you must change the focusing screen and use the lens stopped down when using manual focus lenses. This is not a problem yet, but the next lens I will buy is the 120mm f/4 macro. I hope using this lens will not be too much of a hassle! When the zoom lenses come out, I will have to find a good justification for still using my Canon (Hugely less expensive developing is a strong argument though)!
