Full-frame 35mm and Med format are very different type systems with
relatively little overlap.
I agree and see little crossover for established APS dslr users. The 645Z
biggest market has to be with existing medium format users.
I have a very satisfactory range of older (A*, F and FA) '35mm' lenses that
would be hard/impossible to replicate in medium format if I went to medium
format.

Why would anyone want a 24 x 36 Pentax?
. To be able to use existing full-frame lenses
. To have access to smaller/lighter (and Med format) lenses
. To be able to use lenses for the full-frame on both full-frame and
APS-C bodies
. To avoid needing to buy expensive full-frame glass
. To have a *vastly* wider selection of lenses available (fisheye,
ultra-wide and super telephoto)
. To be able to use affordable lenses on occasion
. To have the option of third-party glass
. To have in-body image stabilization
. To have smaller/lighter kit than medium format
