I have to disagree with both of you on this point. The 645D and 645Z
would have had virtually no market as a camera body on its own. It takes
lenses to complement the body to create a camera .system.. Without
screw-drive focusing (and thus compatibility with two handfuls of prime
and zoom FA-series lenses), a buyer would have had only 1 or 2 available
lenses, and those at a cost that would have doubled the cost of the 645
digital camera system. Yeah sure, there are at least as many 645
A-series lenses out there,
but lenses that are manual-focus only are so last century!
MARK!
And only for the young with good vision. And those aforementioned
youngsters with good vision are less likely to have the financial
capacity for a digital 645 camera system. Without backward compatibility
the Pentax 645 digital bodies would not have happened.
