REPLY: If you look at the Pentax 645 NII it is far more flexible in terms of output quality than 35mm. I can shoot at 1600 ISO and get publishable results whereas 35mm in order to yield outstanding quality need to be bolted to a tripod with fine slow film. The same relation is true for digital. Remember that lots of people have learned to live with bulky, old fashioned MF cameras in order to get better output in spite of more flexibility with 35mm. I don't think a switch to digital will make bigger real estate and less magnification for a certain end result obsolete. Remember too that a Pentax 645D will be similar in functionality and size as a full frame DSLR. So the difference will be smaller than the differences between a Hasselblad and a EOS-1. P�l
