I wasn't aware they discontinued it. It's on their website still and being sold new at many retailers here in the US.

^ Ricoh announced the discontinuation a few weeks ago. It's still being sold, but more than likely it's the last of the remaining stock. I really do hope that a replacement will come, but there are some that think no replacement is coming. I guess we'll see what Ricoh does in the future.

Ah okay so fairly recent. Yeah I hope they replace it with something else, I'm not a fan of the rebadged Tamron 70-210mm f/4 they offer now (continuous AF issues). It's a nervous lens for CAF, otherwise quite good.
