Tom, the problem with this "upgrade path" is that of lenses. You cannot
or wouldn't wanna mount FA 43 on 645 body.

P.S. I am thinking that eventually Pentax will release FF body just
because everyone else would have done it. You know - marketing folk will
force the engineering people to do what marketing folk think is right.
But given a chance to "preview" the FF camera like I just did is
interesting and gives a new perspective on things. You know - actually
using it as compared to talking about it. Though admittedly - this
camera is big and heavy. That, however, is subject to Moore's law...
I think in this instance, the "marketing folk" would be right.
If every other camera manufacturer is offering FF (or 135 format as Bill
calls it), Pentax must have a competitive offering or lose market share.
