A few days ago on Amazon I noticed they had listed the Pentax 100mm as being discontinued by manufacturer. This morning I noticed the same comment was being made about the Pentax 18-135. I mentioned the 100mm discontinuation on the Pentax DPreview forum and several doubted it was true although most speculated that it might be true perhaps because Pentax might be coming out with an improved 100mm. I began a search to see if I could find any information directly from Pentax but didn't find such a site. I did however find this site. Can anyone here shed any light on these mysterious discontinuations?
