The Contax 645 is a medium format film SLR built on the **Contax 645 lens mount**, designed for photographers who demand the image quality of medium format film combined with the convenience of **phase detection autofocus**. The single-point AF system is a practical advantage in portrait and event shooting scenarios. The body is built from a **plastic and metal composite**, weighing **1,370g** and measuring **141 x 138 x 145mm** — a solid, purposeful design. The **optical pentaprism viewfinder** with **LCD display** provides a traditional but functional shooting interface. ISO settings span from **6 to 6400**, and the camera supports a **burst mode at up to 1.6 fps**. For flash photography, TTL auto flash integration with the **Contax TLA series** via the **standard ISO hot shoe** adds versatility for controlled lighting on location. The camera is powered by a **2CR5 lithium battery** and has no weather sealing, WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB connectivity, staying true to its film-era design.
