If a 55/2.8 is a "standard" lens, it means that the "extra-large" sensor
isn't a whole lot larger than 24x36. Something's fishy...

Apparently not entirely vapor ware.

Although they didn't take it out of the case for the hoi poli, rumor has
it some of the better known photo writers got hands-on experience.

Call me a sucker, but I'd just love to see what that camera is all
about. It could well place digital medium format into a price range I
can afford. Just wish it could accept all my previous Pentax lenses.
What's it going to cost?
