I found my Pentax 645 accessories information that I got back in 1990 so the catalog numbers may have changed You will need a power cord 645 (3meters long), Catalog number 38451 this is the cord that you have to have when you remove the grip handle from the 645 body Cable Switch A (1Meter long) This is the electronic shutter release that will screw in the shutter release of the 645 grip How are going to mount your 645? I use the Pentax Quick Shoe 645/67 set Catalog number 38464 For 645 lens The 75mm lens is close to the field of view as a 50mm lens for a 35mm camera The 55mm lens is close to the field of view as a 35mm lens for a 35mm camera The 45mm lens is close to the field of view as a 28mm lens for a 35mm camera The 35mm lens is close to the field of view as a 20mm lens for a 35mm camera Hope this helps Videotoaster

Get the manual focus Pentex 645 With the money that you will save you can buy lens for your 645. I use 35mm, 45mm, 55mm, and 75mm lens for my manual focus Pentex 645 I use the hand shutter release switch that you get from Pentax, I use a 5 pin din connector set that I got a radio shack, I have the 645 handle ( battery, on –off switch ) in a fanny pack that I wear on in my front on my belly under my jump suit, I also have the shutter release cable taped down in place so it wont come undone, I have found that the power needs to be turn of before I connect the shutter release cable together because if you don’t then the 645 will fire off a photo as you connect the cable together The hand release for the 645 is set up to with my 35mm shutter release to go on my left hand with my thumb I can fire the 645 with my middle finger I can fire the 35mm I hope this helps some VideoToaster

Don't feel bad Tommny I had 800 jumps or so when I got my first Sony 8mm camcorder back in 87 VideoToaster

I would agree with the hand switch for two stills I can have mounted a 35mm SLR & Pentex 645 medium format still camera’s & a video camera with my helmet set up. I have both of the shutter releases together on my left hand. For the Pentex 645 I use my thumb for the 35mm I use my middle finger VideoToaster

Can you confirm or deny that the discs it's making are working in -most- DVD players and computers? From what I have read from different video production & DVD mail lists ,web site ( http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdwriters.php?DVDnameid=34&Search=Search&list= ) Is that thes recored dmr-e30 disks will play on most DVD players computer & standalone models Could you list models in which you've specifically tested? So far I have tested on the Pioneer A04 ,Panasonic dmr-e30, There is a Best Buys opening soon I will try to see if I can play on there DVD demo models what DVD-R media are you using? Brand To date I have only used the Pioneer DVD-R 4.7 GB I will post more info as I get it VideoToaster

Here is my report on the Panasonic DMR-E30 stand alone DVD-R recorder Plug it in to power, connect video & audio, hit record Simple as recording to a VCR There are 4 modes of recording on the DVD-R 4.7GB XP 1 Hr (best picture ) ,SP 2 Hrs , LP 4 Hrs , EP 6 Hrs There is also an option for making titles but it is a slow process. But it does work Cost is now in the $500-$550 range
