The MX medium format theory is based partly upon the larger image circles provided by the new PC lenses. I definitely DO see a substantial quality increase with tonality, micro contrast and dynamic range with MF digital cameras. But that was always the case with film too. There is a nice market for some of the new digital MF cameras, but its a small niche market with very expensive equipment that can use a wide variety of lenses if you don't need full automation.
I can't see Nikon doing a MF camera unless its compatable with other existing MF lenses. Even if they came out with 5 new lenses and their PC lenses worked too (in that small of a mount!), thats still far shy of what can mount onto a Mamiya or Blad... The glass just isn't there for it.
