Makes sense. Last time I looked I think Calumet sold a Sigma lens with a Pentax fit...but then again they were always on back order

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?

Ricoh has to make inroads into the main professional brand territory - that is the market Calumet serves. The 645Z is more likely to be adopted by professionals if it is in Calumet's outlet.

It is disappointing to note that of all the many brands on their home page - not a hint of Pentax/Ricoh let alone this launch.

From experience, the rest of us know where to do our business - when we can afford to. I don't mind the wait.
