New purchase | Pentax 645 | medium format film camera
For years I’ve been taking photographs with a few different 35mm cameras. Usually snapping away with my trusted Pentax K1000, that I first found when I was a teenager in my grandparents basement. I always wanted to shoot in a larger format, but it wasn’t a priority to purchase a medium or large format film camera when cinematography was my main focus.
That all changed this past Christmas when I purchased my first medium format camera, the Pentax 645 from KEH.com (amazing website) I’ve carried it all over Manhattan snapping photographs of various things. The shutter is incredibly loud, so when I take a photograph on the street everyone in the immediate vicinity can hear it go off. I love it!
Here are a few photos taken from my first roll of 120mm.
