It does conjure thoughts of how they might cut corners on any new WA lenses for the soon to be arriving (LOL) 645D. I wonder if it will be profitable to continue production of the current 645 lens line or maybe they are thinking they won't have to because there are so many used ones out there ;-) I do also find it intriguing that companies like Cosina can produce very high quality lenses (optically and mechanically) then sell them at reasonable prices and still profit.
