The 645D production

edit

I heard that the lenses (though not the external housings) were already produced by the time Hoya bought the company.
Secondly, I have read elsewhere on Wiki that the 645 was withdrawn from production http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentax_cameras#645D
Do we have citations for either of these? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.172.182 (talk) 18:50, 15 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

First Pentax 645 lenses had been available in 1984, decades before Hoya did buy the company.

Production of the film SLR 645 did end before the successor 645N was introduced in 1997.

Like most modern SLRs, it requires batteries to operate.
