It would appear that the paltry information I found in a quick web search is all there is to know, at least for people not employed by Pentax. Knowing what I know about the difference between price and cost, I suspect Pentax (Hoya) may have found that they can't make it cheap enough to sell it for what they should sell it for to compete with Canon (and perhaps Nikon) offerings. That will kill a project faster than mere technical infeasibility. The itching happens whenever I contemplate a Canon 5D. No, it's not 31mp, but I don't need 31mp and generally don't want to have to store it. I would have been happy with 18 million larger pixels in the Pentax. I have no means of scratching the itch when contemplating an 18mp Canon, but a Pentax at a similar price might force me into penury. I have plenty of lenses either way, but generally I think larger is better even with digital. I'm happy with what I get from film except that the time it takes to scan it keeps me from doing very much of it. On to more important pursuits: Finding an affordable 45mm lens for the 6x7.
