Minolta has tried and failed in the pro 35mm market. Pentax can regain some respect only if they can go digital and retain the 35mm format on both fronts. It is known in this group that the Pentax optics, when they chose, are world beaters..... The 645 area is one of caution. Both Pentax and Contax will be hurt with Mamiya/s 645 E. A capable 645 for well less than 1,000! If I were to restart and sacrifice my existing cameras and lenses, I would be hard pressed to bypass Canon. Their present system and optics leave Nikon lacking. Only because older optics can be used with present Nikon cameras keep Nikon in the game.
