And lets not forget the 67 lenses too. They fit a 645 body with full functionality. The 645D will work as a digital solution for 67 system owners as well. And then there are those who think 35mm is whimpy even for digital...
I'll say the camera has lots of potential...
The potential is there indeed. Even if the 67 lenses does not provide full functionality. YMMV, but I do remember the gripes about K-mount compatibility and the *istD.
If they use logic from the *istD/*istDs cameras, the 67 lenses will have the same compatibility level to 645 as the M an K lenses in the 35mm realm. Which means a semi-automatic stop-down metering by the press of a button.
BTW, this quote is from the FAQ section at Pentax UK (http://www.pentax.co.uk/photographic/faq_lenses.html)
Q: Is it possible to use 67 lenses on 645/645n body?
A: Yes - you need a 645 Adapter for 67 [38454]. Open aperture metering and three of the 645's exposure modes can be used: aperture priority; TTL flash; and metered manual.
