Pentax provides the choice regarding the AA filter because medium format photographers *are* educated enough to understand the implications?

Do you know that's the real reason?
Maybe Pentax believes that moiré is rarely a problem for landscape photography (one of the primary applications for the 645D) and that users are craving for 100% crops that look crispish without any capture sharpening?

Or would you rather say that most of Hasselblad / Phase One / etc folks don't know what they're doing?[/quote]
I would never say such a thing and I wonder what makes you think I would? I only said that I don't know why companies like Leica and Kodak offer products without AA filters. Above I offer a speculation, but have no insights into the true reasons.
