Oh yes. Amazing price for a med format DSLR. And astonishing value. It's a slam dunk if you want an MF DSLR and have that much money. It's just that most of us don't meet either qualification! Of course, it's not just the camera you have to buy but lenses as well and all the MF lenses are well expensive. The reason someone might get, say, a D810 would be if they needed specialized wide angle or super-telephoto glass (or tilt-shift) and also so they could also use its lenses on their APS-C camera. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
