Talk:Pentax 645

The 645D production
I heard that the lenses (though not the external housings) were already produced by the time Hoya bought the company. Secondly, I have read elsewhere on Wiki that the 645 was withdrawn from production http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_cameras#645D Do we have citations for either of these? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.172.182 (talk) 18:50, 15 June 2013 (UTC)


 * First Pentax 645 lenses had been available in 1984, decades before Hoya did buy the company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Pentax_645-mount_lenses_timeline
 * Production of the film SLR 645 did end before the successor 645N was introduced in 1997. https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/53-pentax-dslr-camera-articles/110932-pentax-645-pentax-645n-pentax-645nii-compared.html
 * Production of the DSLR 645D did end before the successor 645Z was introduced in 2014. https://www.pentaxforums.com/camerareviews/pentax-645z.html --Angerdan (talk) 12:37, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Like most modern SLRs, it requires batteries to operate.
