I read that it will only be sold in Japan, maybe there is lead solder in it

At last a Pentax which has a dedicated White Balance button!
What will the size of the sensor be? Will it be "full frame" or is the sensor smaller then the size of a 645 negative?

Now all we need is for the back to be compatable with all old 645s (As all old lenses are) and pentax would have a potentially VERY big market. I know I would seriously think about it and save my pension pennies to have one. CHEERS Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

It is compatible with the old 645 lenses

The thought of the 645D is so tempting...and I'll bet the price is just too high to be a comfotable purchase, or even an uncomfortable one.
Best regards, John
