No，PENTAX 135 fell behind in the 1980s.

That's your perception, not a transcendental truth.

You're right, I stand corrected. Well, I restate: 'there are only three modern lenses covering this [the 'full 645'] format, one of which (the 25mm f/4) is discontinued without any possibility to resume its production.'

Well, amongst modern lenses :
- DFA 55/2.8
- DFA 90/2.8 macro
- DA 28-45/4.5

The two DFA & DA 25/4 are Indeed discontinued.

Lets agree on this.

Not many people, but very interesting people. Passion is here and money "porte de Versailles" (Paris)

Would have loved to be there, but it would have been a bit expensive to travel just for the evening... I settled to go and monopolize the Ricoh/Pentax salesman for one hour during the Lyon event the day before, it was still a good experience.

Good comparison, Pierre-Anthony told me afterwards along his beer, he had much fun doing his presentation.

I wish they can make a retro cam with that size and looks like that MX you're holding.

My tendinitis hurts. I beginning to need something lighter.
