Two shutters, one 35mm, one 645, the 35mm stacked behind the 645 shutter
like the inner jaws of moray eels.  They'd have to be able to move
relative to each other in complex ways.

Or use a segmented mirror, but this really does sound like a pointless
exercise in adding complexity.

It doesn't seem very practical to me, either.

I think the alleged new DFA lenses, if real, are a dodge against the
MF/APS-C format decision tanking plus a way to generate buzz.  And/or
to get various forums to shut up about Pentax's incipient doom.

It's possible that Hoya are willing to rebadge the Samsung full-frame as
a Pentax, or that it's still co-development for that camera, too.  But I
don't think that's the way to bet.
