To my nascent review of the Pentax 645D in Medium Format, I’ve posted the first few pages, including my usual high-res examples and crops. Much more is to come, but I felt sure that some readers would like an immediate take on the 645D.

Update! I've added some more examples as well as a study of apertures and diffraction.

Not interested in medium format? Understanding medium format is a good strategy for some idea of what a 30-40MP DSLR might be able to deliver.

Image quality with 30 second exposures is excellent.
