As some of you may recall, I'm not at all surprised! This was expected. Pentax must support it's MF costumers/camera-/lens- and accessories line-up. The surprising part is that they haven't done this a long time ago - like Rollei, Mamiya, Hasselblad. Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem

Don't ruin the moment by thinking about price! Let's hope the chipset features don't let the sensor down. On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 18:25:15 -0500, Steve Desjardins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, that answers that question. I'm assuming the sensor size is > greater than 24 x 36 mm or they could
