Naa, it would be a purely chemical explosion, but it would level half of
Western Canada.

It would be funny if Pentax just hung there with the MF and DX

Not so much fun for Wheatfield. He could end up being Canada's first nuclear
accident.

It's a 1.3x crop factor, pretty much standard for MF Digital.
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.....
