Want Pentax 645 historical info

[revdocjim]

I've been looking all over the web for a decent article on the history of the Pentax 645 line but haven't found much of anything. Any clues?

The original Pentax 645 was introduced in 1984. In late 1997 Pentax upgraded it to the 645N and added autofocus capability along with a line of autofocus lenses. In the Fall of 2001 they upgraded this again to the 645NII ...

What else do you want to know?

Thanks Bob. I'm still looking for something that has more background info about the original 645 but this article is helpful in its own rite.
