Hello Jonathan, the Takumar lenses used by the Pentax 67 contained radioactivity, meaning they were slightly radioactive. What's the situation with the lenses used by the Pentax 645N? Is this camera and lens combination safe? For example, the SMC PENTAX-F 645 1:2.8 75mm lens. I look forward to your response. See you soon.
The level at which low-level radioactivity is regarded as safe is not a question I can answer. And if you’re concerned, it isn’t a question I would seek answers to on social media. The 645 lenses are newer and to the best of my knowledge don’t contain Thorium.
It’s on the ‘to do’ list! The loading procedure on Pentax 645 is easier than most medium format cameras. I’d recommend downloading a user manual so you can get the best out of the camera.
The camera is really great. I've been using it for a long time. But in my P645N, the self-timer does not work, i.e. in the "selftimer" position, the camera just takes pictures right now. Do you have any ideas how to fix it?
Hi! What kind of remote trigger/sync cord could I use on this with a strobe light? I have a Profoto B10 Plus I'd like to use with my Pentax 645N. Any recs?
Great overview. The most shocking part about this camera is the LOUD rewind! lol. I will try and stop at the last shot if I'm using it during a ceremony because that baby is crazy loud.

Ich habe die Pentax 645 Nii.Die macht nur 12 Bilder statt 15 bzw 16 Bilder wenn ich den Film aus dem Labor zurückbekomme.weißt du woran das liegt ?
You should get the camera checked and serviced.
Is there a video on how to load the film please?

It probably just needs servicing. Self timers are seldom used so often fail.

The Pentax medium format cameras have a standard flash connection. Or you can connect using the flash accessory shoe.

Yes, very loud!
