You can use Hasselblad lenses as well as Pentax 67 lenses. Pentax has also the first MFD lens with optical stabilization.Some of the Pentax lenses are great, some were considered great 20 years ago (but not now), and only a few were actually designed for the 645D. What non-Pentax lenses can you use on the 645D?
The point I was trying to make was while the 40MP options from Phase and Hasselblad cost about the same as an S2, the Pentax 645D does not. The Pentax is head a shoulders better than the Phase body--I have no idea about the current Hasselblad model, but the H series camera I saw was not that great.
So what is making the S body so expensive? Is Leica just going to keep it there because of its brand value? But the price is simply more than R&D costs and a small market. Pentax had the same costs and the same small market.
