The Pentax 645z arrives tomorrow (July 3) for testing. I’m overloaded, what with the Sigma 50/1.4 DG HSM A for Nikon arrived, the Sigma dp2 Quattro, the Canon 16-35mm f/4L IS and the Sony RX100 III.

Also my review of the Pentax 645D and lenses.

It’s a shame that the Nikon D810 is a month or so off, because I’d like to compare it (using the Zeiss Otus 55/1.4 APO-Distagon!) with the 645Z. The 645Z sensor is notably larger, but 50 megapixels is only marginally more than 36 in linear resolving power terms.
