Cloth Focal Plane Shutter Manufacturers

[CameraQuest]

I'm wondering

Besides Leica,

how many Cloth Focal Plane Shutter Manufacturers are still in business?

Surely there are at least a few.

Somebody is making cloth shutter curtains for the Leica MP, M7. Or is Leica making these in-house?

the camera makers.

Besides Leica,

what other new cameras are being made with cloth focal plane shutters ?

anyone ?

My Mamiya medium format has a cloth focal plane shutter.

Looks like they still use this shutter as well as still offering some lenses wih a built in shutter for a higher sync speed. Go to specs then flash.
