The 645 is a really nice MF camera with many features from their 35mm
cameras (autofocus, multizone metering etc.). I believe that the original
645 were once marketed as "as easy to use as a SLR". If you want to go pro,
then Pentax answer is that you have to go to medium format. It's an
excellent medium for pro photographers, even wildlife. And I believe that
Pentax has earned more money on MF equipment than they would have on a F5 or
EOS 1 clone. However, Pentax might come up with a more professional body
than the MZ-S. It's even likely. As I've said before - I believe Pentax has
many tricks hidden up their sleeve. New, exciting things to release. We just
have to wait and see. I have faith.
Best wishes,
Roland

What I'm trying to say is that high-end 35mm SLR's and MedF cameras are
really two entirely different things, meant for entirely different
situations. Saying that Pentax makes MedF cameras answers the >question of
why Pentax doesn't make professional-level cameras (they >do), but doesn't
really answer the question of why they don't make >high-end 35mm ones. Or
you could show them an MZ-S.
