Piggybacking on Bruce's post, you may have seen that the new Mamiya medium format back/camera was announced today: http://www.mamiyaleaf.com/credo50.html
It is the same sensor found in the Pentax 645D, but at a price of nearly 4x. For the same moola I would hazard to suggest that if you have Mamiya 645 glass you could sell it, pick up some Pentax 645 glass and the 645z and still have enough left over for a nice photo safari to a distant land where you could put the 645z to WORK. Oh, also? Instead of the Mamiya's 100-6400 ISO you could get the 645z's ISO Sensitivity Range of 100 - 204,800. (And they have the guts to call theirs a " high iso single-shot capture device". Both feature a 3.2" LCD. The 645z can capture JPEGs at 3 FPS and the Mamiya only 1.2 (though it doesn't specify if that is RAW or JPEG). Crikey.
