Film camera manufacturers?

[Pfreddee]

Just out of curiosity, how many camera manufacturers are still making new film cameras? I can think of three, offhand: Leica, Nikon and Vivitar. Are there any others?

Oh, yes, Fujifilm just announced a new folding MF film camera, for about $2190.00 if memory serves.

Thanks to all who reply.

With best regards,

How about the lo-fi ones, Lomo and such?

Isn't Seagull still making film cameras? TLRs maybe?

Fuji makes instant film cameras, if you count them.

Some are not made anymore but available new:

So far as I know, Vivitar is out of the 35mm camera game. Their (Cosina made) SLR is no longer in their catalog, and even Amazon only lists old stock.

Deardorff, KB Canham and several other view camera makers, Hasselblad makes a film back as I understand for the H6 body and I believe the HY6 Rollei is back in production. Leica, Cosina may be the only 35's.

Forgot Linhof and Arca Swiss. Also there are a few Chinese makers of view cameras.

 

[Contarama]

The Chinese bought Hassleblad didn't they? Maybe that will mean more film cameras because of that huge untapped market?

Do you have a link to the announcement?

 

[Pfreddee]

For the Fujifilm folder, got to B&H and have a look.

Too bad Rollei went under. I don't even use one, but I miss the feeling of solidarity and continuity with the past when I know that an old brand are still in production. And now Nikon is in trouble?

The Fuji GF670? That was introduced several years ago and discontinued not too many years later. B&H keeps "finding" new old stock to sell. I'd love to own one but it seems each batch is more expensive than the previous one.

Too bad Rollei went under.......

As of last summer, Rollei was still making cameras.

There was a news item (was it perhaps later on last summer or in the fall) that Rollei had shut down and auctioned off its manufacturing equipment. Apparently they are doing some production; but not of the Rolleiflex, though.
