Tom, the problem with this "upgrade path" is that of lenses. You
cannot or wouldn't wanna mount FA 43 on 645 body.
And that's the problem with FF as well. All of the recent, high
quality Pentax lenses are for APS format. That should tell you where
they're headed.

P.S. I am thinking that eventually Pentax will release FF body just
because everyone else would have done it. You know - marketing folk
will force the engineering people to do what marketing folk think is
right. But given a chance to "preview" the FF camera like I just did
is interesting and gives a new perspective on things. You know -
actually using it as compared to talking about it. Though admittedly
- this camera is big and heavy. That, however, is subject to Moore's
law...
