Quite right, Jaume, there was plenty of irony in my post :-) My quick thoughts on the 645D: They should have scrapped direct backwards compatibility with legacy glass (but provide a fully-functional adapter) and created a DSLR-sized and shaped camera with the (rumoured) 36x48mm sensor. The Leica S2 is a bit smaller than a Nikon D700--if Leica can do it, so can Pentax. Create something new, exciting, and affordable (within the segment), that's what I wish Pentax would have done. Instead, they're just sticking a cropped sensor in a 645 body, keeping the same registration distance, and repeating the whole APS-C vs full-frame silliness. Unless all those mock-ups they've been showing lately are an elaborate ploy to delude us. My 2 cents (or 1.6p). --M. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.EnticingTheLight.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
