That is correct.

I have the older version. I cannot comment on the new one, but
the old one is very good indeed. The new 45mm is wonderful, the
old 75mm is ok, but not exceptional. Flare is a problem with it
(mine is SMC). The 90LS is pretty darned good. It is not the
same optical design as the regular 90. I have heard the standard
90mm is terrific. I bought the 105 for the speed, and because I
wanted a slightly longer standard lens. The old 135 macro is
also superb.
If you are curious, see:

(cut and paste the URL as needed). It is a few pictures shot
with the 67 lenses that I own.

The only third party optics I have seen for the 6x7 is a 2x
teleconverter.
