Not sure if they'll do Ricoh/Pentax approach and keep the brand name or just roll everything into Phase One name. I still miss my Mamiya 7 quite often though I really don't shoot medium format nowadays...

A pity that a long standing brand disappears. But in a way logical. The ties between Mamiya and Phase One have already been strong for a long time and the shift has been going on for some time as well.

PhaseOne has owned a dominating share in Mamiya for some six or seven years, and the last four cameras already were PhaseOne branded (the last three exclusively), so this does not really change anything significant.
