I have seen two extra batches apart from the crowdfunding. So my guess is they sell a limited amount and work on them. Once finished open another 200.Originally Posted by locutus

I would think Walker Cameras and Richard Ritter should be considered verified...
Richard T Ritter just wrote me to let me know he is still making cameras.
I want to clarify that my list is just an attempt to help large format users (current or future) have a reference of what is made at this day (when the list is finished). By saying its not verified doesn't mean they are out off business, it means I havenīt had the time to write everyone yet. But I will make it my priority to write all the ones listed here to verify before monday. That way I can post the list as of October 2016. And will probably check once a year to update the list. I think this kind of information is crucial to keep things going for all users and makers.
So the list today...

Why not add those companies verified to no longer make analog large format cameras as well? This would save a lot of unnecessary future comments like "how did you leave out xxxxx?"
Sorry Bob, am I missing something in your comment. All the ones on the verified I have seen myself or been told by them that they still make large format analog cameras.
PS: I just wrote all the ones listed.
He is suggesting that you add the companies that you have confirmed are out of the business, so people who haven't seen the list before will not ask about them every time.
Not quite, for instance, Sinai is still in business but the current owner, Leica, does not have them manufacture analog large format cameras.
