I think we discussed this at some point in the past month. Based on Pentax releasing a new D-FA 55 mm lens, it looks like it will be a 1.2x crop on 645 format, which means the current lens range would need to be extended by one more wide to achieve the same maximum FoV as the Pentax 645 35mm lens provided.
I still have the loaner 645 system ... Really should get out and shoot with it some more. - Overall, the 645D body looks about as bulky as the Pentax 645/645N/ 645NII bodies do. - Pentax has always put both bottom and side tripod mounts on the 645 model. This is great: I fit adapter plates for the tripod and swap between vertical and horizontal without ever having to flip the tripod head over. I like the 645 a lot. I fear the price of the 645D body might be out of my pay grade, but I have it in my sights as my next digital camera upgrade for whenever it might appear...
