The drawback I see is that some of the older lenses may loose some of their appeal with the crop factor. I might have to replace my 33-55 with the new 28-45 in order to go wide enough if I buy a 645z....
Yes, but taking into consideration the average (very)slow gamme of Pentax 645-lenses , keeping cropped sensor will never "dig the hole" compared with ultra-fast 35mm lenses...
Short-legged strategy that ignores the fact that buyer's money is not any more an issue in Pro-MF market..
Originally posted by JinDesu In consideration, the Hassy and Phase One backs that are using this same sensor are priced in the 30k range. Pentax doesn't make sensors, so you will need them to find a source for a full 645 sensor.
Pentax buys all it's sensors, so this would only imply a new tender.
