Considering that a 1Ds is the size and weight of a 645 SLR (Not sure exactly about the Pentax 645, but the Mamiya ZD is smaller apart from the prism and about the same weight as a 1Ds), your argument doesn't hold a lot of water on that front. Also there are potential technical problems with a FF DSLR on K mount, the light path perpendicularity issue for corner performance is impacted by K mount's smallish throat size, 645 mount doesn't have that issue. I carry my Mamiya M645 fairly often, but it's smaller and lighter than a P645 (No motordrive). > >> But hey yeah, I'm with you, and chuck in an aperture feedback sensor >> too, $3k would have me handing over the cash.
