Where is whats his name now?

I am not too sharp with Japanese, could you explain?

Here is a link to the Google translation of the webpage.

The article claims Pentax has canceled the 645 digital and the interchangeable lens programs. They'll continue to sell MF film bodies. Too bad, as the digital looked promising and there is room in the market alongside Mamiya, but I would guess the potential order numbers are not very attractive.

Maybe they'll focus on a 35mm FF body.

Thank you.
