But was has the pro area to do with digital? As far as I'm concerned, I've no doubt that digital slr's will be mass market damned soon. If Pentax will continue making slr's, which I'm certain they are, they need to cater to the digital slr pretty soon. And they have in fact said that they will. Theres no point in not sticking to the K-mount as this gives them automatically a broad customer base. >Pentax is, I suspect, working on digital for the 645nII. >My personal predictions are that 35mm will continue in its general present >condition for a long, long time; the 67 series will not go digital >for a long time; Pentax will move almost entirely into the medium-format >form factor for digital and let 35mm flounder because it's a source >for revenue to produce the real cameras. I doubt this scenario. I do believe that the 645 will go digital at some point but film based cameras will be around for awhile. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
