Not true at all. Pentax USA always says their medium format cameras/lenses as professional. As so does Pentax everywhere else. I remember not too long ago Pentax USA advertised "Pro" rebates on their "professional" medium format equipment for working pros. Just e-mail Pentax USA to find out when. And at the price of MF, I hardly think that this is geared toward to "amateur market". Plus build quality is "Pro". AND a ton of pros use Pentax MF, mostly field photographers.
