I think Pentax was still making the Pentax645NII as recently as 2009. I have the older model the original Pentax645 that they sold from 1984 to 1997. They are cheap as fuck, because the bodies lack auto focus, dials, and exposure comp (they kinda suck for shooting slides without an external light meter of some sort because lol no exposure comp).
While they aren't Contax or Hasselblad lenses some of the pentax lenses like the 35mm f/3.5 are amazing. They just tend to have a kind of limited sweet spot
