This is a shame. They have always served a small niche market... but their products look like they are high quality. It's too bad to see them cease business.

I am absolutely bummed. I have a Fotoman 617 and the camera is a work of art. The build quality is out of this world.
What a lousy start to the weekend... 🙁

This is sad, and just two days after I've got a good deal on a 45PS (ebay) here in Oz.

makes me sad too as I've been dreaming for nearly a year of one of their 69 (MF) cameras as a sort of Alpa-esque camera. :'(

Sorry to see them go.

I don't have their product camera but it's a shame to see such a quality item cease production, guess it's the economic times.

I have a fotoman 6x24 with lens cones for a 110mm and 210mm lenses. It is a great camera, very well made. I will try to find a lens cone for a 90mm lens before they are no more.

I'm going to try and do the same thing. There's a particular Fuji lens I want for my 617... Getting the cone could prove to be a problem though, unless they have one in stock.

Their site says they will keep selling till stock is gone.
If you're wanting parts, contact them soon I'd say.
