The sensor size is just about the same size as the "full frame" 35mm, so the technology and cost is known (remember that full frame Canon and Sony are as "low" as $2500). The result would of course be a cropped digital XPan. The lens should be much easier to design - heck, lets make them all F2.8 while we are at it. Sell the whole system with 3 lens (30, 45 and 90 equivalent) for $10,000 to $12,000, and I bet they will sell at least as many of that as Pentax 645D. -- // richard <http://www.imagecraft.com/> // icc blog: <http://imagecraft.com/blog/> // richard's personal photo blog: <http://www.5pmlight.com> [ For technical support on ImageCraft products, please include all previous replies in your msgs. ]
