The digital 645 is the one I'm gunning for... If the sensor is beyond 18 megapixel and clean and they can price it well, it might well undercut the erm Hasselblad.

Yes it will cost an arm and a leg but I'm not sure that much. But even if it is in that price range, I know of 2 pros who won't bat an eyelid to part with that kind of money for it.

As compared to H3D, the details is lesser than 2/3 but if the price is more than 1/2 of it, i bet lots of pro will be taking a look at this upcoming 645D from Pentax.
It's going to make medium format more affordable for new studios setup.

This particular lens is non-medium-format.
Pentax label the new range of medium-format lens undder DFA645 or something that ends with 645 for the upcoming camera.

That's really affordable. A Kodak digital back cost around $30k 3 years ago.

Think these new lenses going to bring in big profit for Pentax. Any idea what the FA* 300mm f2.8 retail price was? Going to try vest myself for the DA* 300mm

Will there be such exibition/show in Singapore?
Although I can't afford 300/F2.8, I really want to try it out, see whether it is worth for this price.
