Re: Poll: How many of you would buy a Pentax 645D?

Depends. For a professional studio photographer it should be a good option if: - It has way higher dynamics like let's say Nikon D3x and a few more megapixels. The recent FF cameras IMHO are really competitive to the MF market. - The price is competitive to a Mamiya+Digiback - The lens

I have no first-hand experience with the lens in topic, but so far my experience with mirror lens is they are mostly soft. Of course there are differences, for example the f5.6/500 Rubinar is almost sharp (well let's say it's sharp as the Canon kit lenses :D) and f8/500 Phoenix is nowhere near
