This is from the MF forum on photo.net :
"As I reported last Friday, a number of knowledgeable sources have been telling me that while Kyocera will be discontinuing their 35mm film, and digital cameras, the Contax 645 line is not discontinued. This has now been confirmed by Denise Nelson of Kyocera Yashica (UK) Ltd., to Ian Andrews of ePHOTOzine ? that the 645 range would continue in production for the foreseeable future. An official announcement will be released early next week. It really is appalling though that someone at Kyocera in Europe were allowed to spread incomplete and premature information, that was then picked up by several web sites, and which caused such concern among customers and related companies for the past few days. Someone flunked Corporate Communications 101. "
Hope it's true, and that the Contax 645II is still in the pipeline.
