My bet, if there is a new LX ...flagship camera etc., is that it will be a 645.
Pentax has been well received by professionals in the medium format and the current
645, though it may have been the first AF 645, is now sadly behind the pack. It needs
a faster shutter, flash
sync, and better AF as well as a mirror lock up. Also, while the value of an
interchangeable magazine is debatable, the ability to exchange the film magazine for a
digital one is essential today.
So my bet is on a new auto focus 645. Not sure where the limited lenses fit in...
perhaps a silver MZ-S or black limited lenses to mate up?
Cheers, Mike.
