What kind idiocy is this? I cannot list the UK pro photographers using the 645. Who 
can? I don't know single UK photographer who use Hasselblad, but does that prove 
anything? When someone claim he doesn't know anyone who uses X that says nothing but 
this person knowledge, or more correctly, his lack of it. BTW  Andy Rouse is one who 
uses the 645.

The references are those who sell the stuff. Distributors and manufacturers. Pentax 
have pro share of abot 50% on MF. Hasseblad about 25% and Nikon and Canon too small to 
measure. Way less than 1% of all Nikon and Canon slr's sold goes to pros.  Leica is 
minuscule too.
