Originally posted by surfotog There's a lot of confusion and conflicting information about this subject floating around. Part of the reason is because Pentax USA has not imported Pentax medium format gear into the USA for several years, even while it was still being produced and sold in the Asian market.
This can be confirmed by taking a stroll through the Pentax Japan Web site. Both the 67II and 645NII are listed as active product as is the entire MF line of lenses. While these cameras and lenses may be NOS, they are still available through retail channels in Japan. As for why Pentax have chosen to launch a new camera in the U.S. market while supporting it with a very limited choice of lenses is anybody's guess. Go figure.
