JoseвЂ™s recipe for achieving his signature look was simple but precise: a Contax 645 camera with 80mm lens set at f2, using Fujifilm Pro 400H film over-exposed by one stop. Photographer Jose Villa caused a sensation among wedding photographers with his dreamy, romantic images. It was remarkable in that it was caused by one person: Jose Villa. Second, The Jose Villa EffectДЄlmost a decade later came вЂThe Villa EffectвЂ™, which caused the value of the Contax 645 to rise even more rapidly than before. The Pentax 645NII could not take digital backs, since it did not have a removable film back.

Interestingly, the Contax 645 was not hugely expensive when new вЂ“ it was about the same price as the Pentax 645NII, which came in at around US$2,400, or US$3,500 in 2021 money.

If you are not familiar with the Contax 645, look up the price of it on eBay and frighten yourself.

If ever the term вЂhypeвЂ™ could be applied to a camera, the Contax 645 is that camera.
