Logic would tell us that Pentax could probably not produce a competitive, profitable, MF DSLR in the face of many MF pro's dumping their MF film bodies and going with the high-end MP Canon bodies over the last several years. They were too far behind the curve, and technology and the marketplace were moving too fast.
But they announced it and began development. Logic would tell us that, having spent all the resources on said model, and continuing to display it and proclaim it's forthcoming release, even of late, that it would actually occur. But that appears otherwise. So what does logic tell us? Tom C. >From: "P. J.
