Who said Pentax didn't had long lenses?
Focal length: 960mm
Focal ratio: 6.4
Optical Layout: 4-lens SMC-coated apochromatic refractor with integrated field flattening lens for 6x7cm film format
They also have a 1800mm f/12 version of this one.

Most compacts of today are mirrorless to so it isn't all that exotic Womble uses a mirrorless camera and I have too at times, they aren't too bad.

Btw there are new versions of Eneloops I believe, they are rated fro twice as much recharge cycles.
Like I said "I believe" so I ain't sure.

Mike, I'm still unsure what you meant so don't blame me for being complicated because of your doing.Stefan,

The o.p. is talking about the 6x7 and the 645D got mentioned and you asked the question; "What does the camera give you here that a digital crop of FF cannot?".
Now most of the time FF on this forum means 135-format but in this thread where they have been talking about MF size cameras I don't dare to guess.

I do get some complains when the flash goes off at full power when I press the test button or something like that thoughton wrote:

With a bounced flash I've never had any complains.
Certainly when you use ISO400 and f/2.8 the flash power isn't that high.

Oh yes no problem, I use the DA*50-135 so most of the time they are 2 to 3 metres away. I even used the flash from 20 to 30 metres away, this was however a direct flash though but it worked so does that work when your subject is about 10/12 feet away from you.

Can't complain about missing shots it takes 2 seconds to mount the camera and it fits in my bag with everything mounted. About the flash I've some easy cousins that don't mind the bounced flash, maybe that is because I take photos almost every week off them. Yes, flash works fine, and I also bounce mine. But it's quite intrusive and my son complains

Stunning photo, must be quite a challenge carrying the 6x7 everywhere, can you even hand-held those cameras?
For example a crop sensor like the APS-C is larger than a Full Frame 101-format sensor, even the 645D has a crop sensor but it's larger then FF 135-format sensor.

Come guys stop using these terms so loosely, crop and FF does not mean a thing about what sensor size it is.What does the camera give you here that a digital crop of FF cannot?

That is a monster!
I don't think anyone denies Pentax had long lenses, they just don't have anything especially long now.
K.
3000mm f/12
3,4 metres long with a weight of 80KG.
Sadly they stopped production in January 2009
Saw one of each of those and some other "large" lenses when I was in Tokyo and visited the Pentax Centre.
Did not have much time but the staff were dismayed that I was using 3rd party lens caps that they gave me some new ones! but I could not get a free lens though.
