P.J., I didn't follow when exactly Zeiss stopped the production. As for the "Veblon good" (which I had to look up that term), - I suspect that in case of K-mount lenses, it wasn't the case. And the fact that they discountinued those confirms my hypothesis. As Stan wrote in another thread

A lot of lenses seem to be out of the US lineup, if you visit the ricohimaging.com site. Of course that site is still under construction, and has been for at least three weeks, probably longer. I don't know what Ricoh is doing, but they don't seem to care much for the second or maybe third
