Pentax 645D Body Only for $4000 [or $3150 on eBay or $2650 Used]
A comment by S.W. Anderson in the Hasselblad MF Mirrorless post got me price-checking medium format cameras, and it looks like the first generation Pentax 645D body only is currently going for $4000 in new condition at Amazon by Amazon actual. This is no longer available from B&H and Adorama. Amazon’s shipping estimate is 1-4 months, so keep that in mind if you need it to arrive quickly.
Or if you are a more adventurous shopper, there are a couple of eBay listings on it:
+ New Condition for $3150 with Best Offer Enabled (this is a private eBay listing for extra protection; ships from Los Angeles)
+ Used Condition for $2650 [CORRECTED!] (ships from Delaware; listing says used in-studio only with 3269 actuations)
+ the eBay listings above are from individuals, not retailers
In comparison, the latest model, the Pentax 645Z, goes for $7000 in new condition at B&H Photo (with 4% rewards = $280~) and Adorama (with 4% rewards = $280~). There’s also a 645Z Comprehensive Starter Kit that goes for $16,000 and includes three lenses (55/2.8, 90/2.8, 28-45/4.5, extra accessories and the protective case you see in the pictures.
(SOLD OUT) Used Pentax K-1 Body Only for $1557
The used option sold out as of 10:35pm ET… The new condition remains in-stock ~ check the Stock Status Tracker for the new condition options…

Stock Tracker Update: Both Nikon D500 Kits In-Stock at More Places, Canon 1D X II CFAST Low Stock
We just updated the Stock Status Tracker and since the previous updates, we have some good news on the Nikon D500 front. The D500 body only is now in-stock at its starting price of $2000 at Amazon by Amazon herself and Adorama and B&H Photo… Meanwhile the D500 w/16-80mm kit is now in-stock at Amazon as well for its obscure price of $3067… On the Canon 1D X II CFAST Kit front, the Adorama website has a LOW STOCK alert, which means it may go out of stock soon (depending on demand as usual since this is a $6000 flagship)… It should go without saying when not mentioned in these alerts, the Pentax K-1 remains out of stock…
PS: if the Stock Status Tracker looks a bit different, it’s because we retired the Nikon D5 kits. They had been steadily in-stock for a number of days in a row, so there is no need to track them any more. If you have any not-yet-released cameras you’d like to see tracked, please leave a comment or use the online contact form.
