The reason for using MF lenses with a FF chip is the same as the reason for using FF lenses on APS size sensors. The sensors are more critical to lens errors, especially far from the centre.

even dumber, why carry around all the excess bulk and weight of 645 body/lenses if the sensor is only 24x36?

Perhaps cotty was saying that it will be a 24x36 sensor on a 645-style chassis?

dumb idea. You have to crawl before you can run. No point in 645 DSLR unless it were full frame and it would be much more likely that they would develop and sell full frame 35mm DSLR, before tackling FF 645DSLR. jco

This will take the form of a D645-type camera, IMO. Pentax has no
aspirations to re-enter the 35mm-style DSLR professional market. There's
no point, Nikon and Canon have it sewn up. Pentax have a big chance with
the D645 if they can make it happen - Pentax medium format is respected
and used by many professional photographers. If they can unfurl a new
sail and ride on the same wind, they'll go the distance.
