Default Pentax Germany announce end of analog MF

Here's alist of articles which will disappear from the catalogue this
summer and which "won't be produced again if stocks are exhausted". So,
I take it that production of these items has already ceased.

Most notably the 645 and the 67.

Sic transit... :-(

I suppose the good news is we might be able to pick up the used gear
cheaper after that announcement. What we need to worry about, perhaps,
is getting our roll films processed.

Like the other poster said, the prices of used gear in mint condition should
be low. Paranoia will set in, but the cameras will still be wonderful pieces
of hardware for quite some time. Hell, I still shoot with an old TLR that's
been out of production since the mid 80s.

I would think this would drive the price of used gear up.
