I believe it has also to do with the thicker emulsion of film vs the thinner sensor.

Mmmh, I have to say the Hy6 viewfinder is so bright and nice (at least when you use fast lenses with f2.0 or f2.8) that manual focus works pretty good.
Are you suggesting the Pentax 645D is not so great regarding manual focus/viewfinder?

I am afraid that I might agree with you . On the other side my Nikon AF is more accurate than my eye.

I will probably wait a little longer. However I find MF also nice for shooting portrait images and even images of my kid (I like the skin tones and tonality I get with MF) and for this AF doesnt hurt.
However I am concerned with the comments about AF calibtration (my M9 with 5 lenses is on a trip to Leica for calibration right now). I would like to see and be sure that the AF is really reliable. Speed is not as much an issue as accurancy for me.

Thanks. IQ is perfect with my Hy6 and Sinar back. Its more about size/ AF which is not so accurate and handling.
But you a re probably right that I shall wait - specially it concerns me if some people might have AF issues. I have learned that accurate focus is really critical to take advantage of the bigger sensor.
Thanks for keeping us updated about your experience with the 645D.

For my Sinar back there is a correction tool. Is the Pentax 645D fully supported by C1? Do you know if the correction would work in c1?

OK-thank you. This might be the lens for ne.
I just dont know if the new 55m lens would be that usefull and if I should order it as a kit or the camera alone.
But then it would be nice to have one weatherproof lens for bad weather landscape shooting.
Overall I would see a potential kit like 35, 75, 150 + later a Macro and a TS lens.
Dont know yet how the 55 fits in there.

Nick,
great review!
I am a Hy6 user and wondering if I might replace my Hy6 with the Pentax. I am a hobby shooter. The IQ of the Hy6 is great, but the AF not.
However a short fast (f3.5 or faster; I like the 110/2.0 Zeiss for my Hy6) telelens would be important to me. Is there any f2.8 or f3.5 AF Pentax lens in the 100-150mm range which you think should work fine on the Pentax? Have you tried?
Do you have any indication which lenses Pentax will bring over the next months/year?
It wouldnt help me to have a great camera body with good AF and then have to MF all the time. For that I could just keep my Sinar.
