From: William Robb
Possibly Pentax should have been a bit more down to earth and spent
their R&D money on a FF system that far more people would be
interested in obtaining. With the 645D, even most Pentaxophiles give
it simply a cursory glance because it's more or less unattainable.
It wouldn't have mattered what they did, people would still bitch about
it. If they had released a 24x36 mm K-Mount, then people would be
bitching that their present lens line up was deficient, and that Pentax
had abandoned them with their smaller image circle lenses, and then they
would have to deal with the inevitable complaints about too little/too
late, and why are they wasting their money on a market niche they don't
have a hope of breaking in to in any significant way.
Wouldn't bother me. With only a very few exceptions all of my lenses are
either DG (i.e. full frame digital) or legacy film lenses that already
cover 24x36 mm.
I might have to replace my 18-55 kit lens, but on a 24x36 mm sensor my
28-70f/2.8 has the same field of view, so maybe not.
Other than that I don't think it would be that much problem.
