Pentax Cameras - Other Formats

Other Formats

Pentax is one of the few camera manufacturers still producing medium format cameras. As of 2012, there are two offerings, one in the 6×7 format—the Pentax 67 II, and one in the 6×4.5 format—Pentax 645NII. Both use 120 or 220 roll film. These cameras build on the Pentax SLR design experience. The shape of the Pentax 67 is broadly similar to a 35 mm SLR camera. By contrast, the Pentax 645 resembles other medium-format cameras by makers such as Mamiya and Bronica, which tend to be cube-shaped.

Another interesting product was the tiny Auto 110 reflex system, based on the 110 pocket-instamatic film format.
