But only Fuji is competing with Pentax at budget medium format (Hassy too if it counts). Pentax seems to me now they are lost, try to do it all but not eliciting well not has a clear future plan, while other companies all have some strong focus : m43, FF , mirrorless, 645mirrorless, sensor, luxury. That’s the biggest problem now.

Personally, I really like Pentax, k10 started my photography life, and later on launched the career using k7 ~ k5, got a chance for a cheap phase one, since then I had dreamed about digital Pentax 645, and wow 645Z has been amazing.
But from the business perspective, if I don’t know how much my inventory actually worth, it’s a problem, after all, if it’s something that neither a newcomer nor a Pentaxian want to get into, it’s essentially worthless.
Whether or not to make the switch, all I wish for is that Pentax say something substantially about their 645 so there’s a “value” in the system, hence someone might be interested in my used gear, or I patiently wait for the update; Worse case, if they decide to quit 645, it’s better to break someone’s heart early in the relationship than holding on for years.

Well, one of the problems that results from it , is that people who are looking are much less likely to buy used Pentax gears, priced at 3000usd I got no one asking.... I doubt it’s the price, it’s because Pentax 645 future is unknown.

P30 was long gone years ago, I’ve invested lots P645 &P67 lenses over the years actually, I wouldn’t lie 645z does the job at a reasonable cost, but it’s about giving user the faith of the system’s future, and it’s frustrating seeing that almost all companies have stepped up and came out or announced higher end products except the quiet Pentax...

...and 645d / 645z was the game changer at the time, it was like the ray of light for Pentax, but sadly they didn’t keep up the momentum and now Fuji is the new game changer

Been waiting and waiting I’m so ready to give you all that big cash regardless how tempting Fuji has been lately, now even the gfx100 is around the corner, where is your next 645 !? Mirroless or not I just need an update, faster af /more dr / higher iso / larger sensor / mirrorless / lighter weight size... Anything ! pick one spec and I’ll buy it , just please don’t be so darn quiet ! If you aren’t planning on developing 645 anymore just say so don’t let us hang for years...
