Just a thought. The Pentax 645 is not much bigger/heavier then a top line "pro" 35mm SLR. Could Pentax possibly be planning to keep the APS sized sensor for the 35mm camera based DSLR and come out with a full 645 frame DSLR in the 1 Ds price range. Pentax does have the advantage over N&C as they are the only one with a MF lineup. Just a thought.... Butch Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself.
