The question is whether there is a place for 6X7 at all except for film. If the 6X7 
format makes sense in a digital future (I'm not sure. When does the law of diminishing 
returns (quality, price) start to set in for digital? 6 x 4,5?), we probably will see 
an AF 6X7 system. If not, the Pentax 67 will suffer a slow death.
