Re: Pentax announced development of digital medium format

[Caveman]

We don't need no stinkin' lens mount compatibility. It impairs new 
equipment sales and slows down progress. They should be changed on a 
regular basis, each two years or so. This would prevent such lowly 
tactics as buying used, which impairs cash flow to the company and makes 
difficult to recover money spent on research, development and tooling. 
In fact, I propose an even better approach. An yearly "photo" tax that 
we should pay to the companies. If you want to take photos, you pay the 
tax. This can be easily enforced with the appropriate firmware. You pay 
the tax and get an yearly authorisation code that you enter, or go to an 
authorised camera shop to do it for you.

Of course lenses for the 645 won't be compatible.  Right?
