Originally posted by 2351HD I had not seen this. It’s more promising.
Perhaps the delay in the two new zooms was to make them D-FA rather than DA so that they could be used on a full frame 645 sensor.
A larger 645 sensor would give them the advantage they need while still having backwards support for those with DA lenses like the 28-45mm.
If they just revamp film era zooms, then no coverage problem : they will be naturally DFA. I have no idea if they were supposed to be completely new / from scratch... I had never thought about it under this angle.

Rick “not blaming Pentax” Denney
Disclaimer : I don't defend CaptureOne, I don't use it, and I have no PhaseOne camera...
They change that position of "no support for medium format competitors" just after annoncing that they were exiting the 33x44mm sensor market, saying that it was not real medium format. All this after having sold for years >20K$ camera with such sensors. Funny guys !
If they still do not offer support for Pentax, what can it mean, then ? Pentax not having money, or... Something else ?
