I'm sure you are aware that the opposite is true. 35mm was the last of the line in film photography (not counting 1/2 frame and miniature) starting with large sheets of various sizes (after glass negs) from 11 x 14 to 4 x 5, then the 3 x 4 and 2 1/4 x 3 1/4. Roll film came later for the lar

You're assuming the market for 35mm digital (FF) is the same for the medium format digital. I don't think this is so. I believe any company with a good and reasonably priced medium format is going to sell some units. No, not as many as the APS-C cameras, and probably less than 35mm FF, but sti

My prediction: Whatever the last model DSLR produced by Pentax is, it will be the last "high end" camera I'm likely to buy from them. The 14mp sensor is already higher resolution than I could reasonably achieve with 35mm film and its high ISO performance is better than I could have dreamed of

You're right. And even those without a prior investment may go for a Pentax MF digital, since there are numerous excellent used lenses available at very reasonable prices. The market isn't huge, but it's big enough to be profitable. You can be sure that Hoya has given this a lot of careful
