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?
Perhaps not if you're concentrating on studio portraiture, fashion, et
al. Isn't that where most of the Hassy's and Phase One's end up?
