[quote name='Brightcolours' timestamp='1309210638' post='9593']Pentax is not really MF, though... its a very small sensor compared to MF.

Compared to film MF, yes, but not compared to digital MF. Otherwise you'd need to dismiss all "lower-end" 30-40mp MF cameras (Mamiya DM28 and DM40, Phase One P30+ and P40+, Hasselblad H4D-31 and H4D-40, etc) as too small as they all use 44x33mm sensors.
"Higher-End" MF backs (~50mp) typically have 48x36mm sensors, so crop difference (x 1.09) is still minimal.
Just out of curiosity - looks like that all 44x33mm 40mp MF sensors have the same pixel density as Nikon D3x <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />
