Nice pics. Looks like East Anglia. Duxford?

What does the Hasselblad back cost, and how many Pentax users would be prepared to pay that much?

You can bet that Pentax has already done these sums.

It all comes down to economics. There is a cost to doing this, and much of the cost is up-front (design, planning, tooling), and marketing. Then there's the sensor itself. Actually assembling the thing would be relatively simple and cheap.

So, to recover all the up-front and necessary marketing costs, and the sensor cost, one would have to sell several thousand if the unit cost were not to be prohibitive (and that's a relative term).

The question is, how many people would be prepared to pay say 20,000 pounds for a Pentax 6x7 digital back. If the figure is less than around, say, 5,000, it probably won't make financial sense.

The reason so many things cost so little these days is because they are made by machines in huge quantities. Small quantities, on the other hand, are always going to be expensive.

You've got some rather funny code in there. Frontpage, by any chance?

Allegedly, this flash is available in Pentax P-TTL form. No plans for a Pentax-branded ring-flash at the moment, AFAIK.

Must be a very small house you're moving to.

These are rather nice, especially the swan pic. It's difficult to get so much detail in the feathers.

G

Yes, it is.

But I do hate "skip intro" messages. They are an acknowledgement that the intro page is useless, so why do they have it?
Bizarre.

Shame it has a "Skip Intro" notice - the mark of a bad website.

Overall, not bad. Two comments:

1 It's a bit over-saturated.
2 The foliage would have been better a bit lower down, so that more of the lake/loch could have been seen. In other words, you should have been a bit taller!

It was clearly a lovely day, and a beautiful spot.
