Very unlikely. The 55mm lens for 645 has just been removed from the road map. Also, I expect that interview took place *before* Sony's announcement of the full-frame CMOS chip today. That'll change a lot of plans. From the interview section where he says full-frame is unlikely "for the time being": > However, he qualified his remarks with a disclaimer: "What will happen in two years? Who knows." Two years is a long time and things may move faster now. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
