<p>So much for a medium format CMOS sensor being a novel idea. Following closely behind Hasseblad and Phase One's CMOS medium format announcements is the news that Ricoh is working on its own CMOS MF model, a followup to the 645D that is tentatively being called the Pentax 645D 2014.</p><p>Not much in way of official info is out yet regarding the product. What we do know is that the camera boasts the 'latest, super-high-resolution CMOS image sensor' (read: probably the same 50MP Sony sensor found in the Hasselblad and Phase One), high-speed response in a variety of photographic applications and a tilt-type LCD monitor.</p><p>That last fact, at least, seems to be confirmed by these images published by the Korean website PopCo, that show a camera much like the old 645D, only with a tilting screen.</p><p>In addition to the 645D, Ricoh will also show off an 'ultra-wide-angle zoom lens' (pictured below) designed with the new 645D and digital imaging in mind, a high-performance series macro telephoto prime lens for use with Q-mount cameras, and a 'Film duplication accessory' that uses a built-in flash unit and an SLR to create digital duplicates of silver-halide-film images.</p><p><a href="http://petapixel.com/2014/02/06/pentax-announces-cmos-medium-format-camera/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.ephotozine.com/article/hd-pentax-da-af-1-4x-teleconverter-announced-23994">News > HD Pentax-DA AF 1.4x TeleConverter Announced</a> (ePHOTOzine (press release))</p><p><a href="http://www.digitaltrends.com/photography/ricoh-introduces-new-wg4-wg20/">Ricoh rebadges Pentax WG-series rugged cams, introduces 3 new models</a> (Digital Trends)</p><p><a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/02/05/pentaxs-long-delayed-sdm-teleconverter-arrives-645d-follow-up-and-lenses-in">Pentax's long-delayed SDM teleconverter arrives; 645D follow-up and lenses in ...</a> (imaging resource)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=ds-WBCVk2sKHb-MAZmKqjMtfcbFWM&authuser=0&ned=us">67 additional articles.</a></p>
