Ash - you're the one who said it... not me. I was just answering your question - perhaps your resources are less limited than my own? I am well aware of the value in the Pentax 645 compared to other equivalents
5DmkII = $2000
645D = $10,000
Sounds like you're doing a fine job debating on your own John - no need for anyone else to get involved :D
But seriously - I never said or implied anything more than you have said here. So who are you trying to debate?

also - you don't have to be an "extremist" to appreciate DOF

You are jumping to conclusions based on spending too much time on Pentax Forums... this was not a FF vs APS-C debate. They are simply different and I was pointing out the difference. You can take those same shots with an APS-C but sometimes the shots come out better with FF. I don't limit myself to APS-C cameras and I don't limit myself to one brand... I shoot with whatever I think will produce the best results for me. I would add a 645D if I could only afford it - but I can't so I guess I should I really be saying "I shoot whatever I think will produce the best results... that I can afford to shoot with".

The same amount of light will come through the lens but because of the smaller sensor the same amount of light does not hit the sensor. Therefore F2.8 on FF is equivalent to exposing at F4 on APS-C. But of course the more important factor in my example was DOF

The downsides to Pentax are:
1. lack of lens availability
2. lack of FF body
3. slow SDM lenses.
In the realm of portraits and weddings those things matter a little but its not the end of the world. I use both Canon and Pentax for weddings and portraits - and nothing Pentax has available in digital can create the look for shooting a 135mm F2 lens on a FF body - or an 85mm F1.2 lens of a FF body... Still I use Pentax a lot at these events and sometimes I use it exclusively.
Some people are unaware that aperture is not equivalent between APS-c and FF and at a wedding with a busy/cluttered background those wide apertures can be really nice.
