Thanks Adam. >There's only one 645 Full-frame sensor on the market, the 60MP sensor >in the PhaseOne P65+ back and the last I'd heard that was a custom job >for PhaseOne and not available to other vendors, even if it was, it >would probably have doubled the cost of the 645D. Everyone else except >Leica is using either 1.3x or 1.1x crop sensors, depending on >availability and cost (every back maker switches between the two >sizes). Leica is using their own, slightly smaller 3:2 aspect format. 1.3x is reasonable. I found using the 1.3x crop 1D mark II very comfortable and didn't have to sway too much with existing lenses to get what I wanted. The K15mm on that camera was formidable. >Given that the 645D-FA lenses remain able to cover 645, I expect >Pentax to move up to full-frame sensors when there are economic >options available. My hat is due to retire in 2025 so better be quick..... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- 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.
