35mm K-bayonet
why would you put it in anything else?
Until only a few hours ago I thought exactly the same thing, but then
someone (in another thread) pointed out that the cost of a FF digicamera
would be prohibitive to practically all of the current Pentax K customer
base. I suspect Pentax would have a much larger potential for a 24x36 chip
based camera if it was directed towards their 645 customer base.
I agree, the cost of high quality silicon wafers per area has been constant for decades. More than doubling the area will increase the prize, as well as the demand for calculating power, memory, speed etc. It is in the professional prize range anyway, so why not based the FF sensors on the 645 system.
The wide angle problem can be solved, and you need the upper class of the 135 lenses to get any quality at all from an FF camera, so why not use the 645 lenses?
