One thing confuses me. It's a 645D - yet the sensor size means that it's
really a 433D or thereabouts. So existing 645 lenses will be crippled by
the same 1.5x crop factor that the K-7 and it's earlier siblings have?
So a serious landscape photographer who had what once was a fabulous
wide angle on his film Pentax 645 will now have a fabulous not-so-wide
and have to buy an even wider lens to compensate if he/she wants more of
the same?
Sure, things open up in the telephoto end, but for 'MF' digital, surely
the wider end is more important?

I hate to say this since I wasn't one of those anxiouly anticipating

thought that a full frame K mount wasn't really necessary for some time,
I'd like one but hell a 1.1 - 1.3 crop would good enough.
