Really glad it is no one other than PENTAX who finally delivered it. This company understands device ergonomics, unlike many of its competitors. Even if this camera had been delivered with fewer pixels, it still would have been nothing less than revolutionary. I particularly want to praise the CORRECT 1.3333 aspect ratio. Sensor size could be a bit bigger, but let’s live with what we now have. I personally have been developing mechanical accessories for the PENTAX 645 platform (I own a 645 II), in order to be able to use old exotic uncoated lenses with focusing as well as with tilt capability on any 645 body, knowing all well that the 645D was eventually coming. As much as PENTAX kept dropping development of the 645D and resurrecting it again, I personally was doing the same with my accessories. Finally, here is my chance to finish all my adaptations that kept collecting dust for the past couple of years. Finally, I hope PENTAX software is written by people who truly understand their field, unlike their competitors. PENTAX is dead – long live new PENTAX! They bring hope to disseminate mediocrity in camera development, that one sees today wherever one chooses to look. I wish other stubborn and wrongfully proud players like CANON, NIKON, MAMIYA, HASSELBLAD (I own some) and others learn from no less stubborn but always promising PENTAX.
