Response to Can I get medium format quality from 35mm?

from Kristian Elof Sxrensen (elof@image.dk)
So this means that if you don't plan to make prints larger than around 30x40 cm:
use MF for action shoots with 400-6400 ASA film, like street photography, reportage etc.
but when you have a tripod and/or enough light and the subject doesn't move so you are using say Delta 100 then you can just as well use 35 mm.

How backwards ;-)
This makes Pentax and their new p645n look even smarter than I'm usually considering them. There will be a huge market for a handholdable MF SLR with matrix metering, AF, program mode, zooms and everything.
People will want one of that kind, and something like a FM2n, MX, F, OM* for "tripod duty".
