From: Joseph McAllister
Back when Pentax was Pentax, according to some folk at a "Pro" camera
store in Seattle, they shot themselves in the foot with a few bad
decisions on how companies who sold Pentax for years would have to
stock the whole line, or bye bye. All but the true camera stores
either dropped the line, or bought elsewhere, not directly from
Pentax USA, to stock the models they felt were what their customers
would buy.
Second hand knowledge, but it sounded like that's the reason they
dropped the LX, the 645, and the 6x7 line, and therefor did not have
any Pentax accessories other than new/old stock.
That's why we all look to B&H and the other NYC catalog/magazine
sellers, or eBay.
According to the owners of the two local independent camera stores here
in Raleigh, Pentax dropped them, not the other way round.
