The Fotoman 617 Mark III is unique in its ability to use almost any large format lens.

The precision machined alloy body is the foundation for the lens cone the Fotoman 617 provides

The Fotoman is an economical, yet very professional camera which produces excellent results.

The optional ground glass back aids with critical focusing.

Each body comes with a lens cone and a dedicated finder ready to accept your particular lens.

We can supply New Schneider or Rodenstock lenses to suit the Fotoman at most competitive prices.

When you order your Fotoman and lens from us we will mount and calibrate the lens free of charge.

The new Fotoman 617 Mark II cameras are now available.

Although very similar in appearance there are a number of significant improvements.

Most noticeable is the new viewfinder. It is much improved optically and the one finder now can be used

with most focal length lenses, provided the appropriate mask is fitted to it. The new finder incorporates
internal masks giving a clearer defined edge to the image.

The new finder also has a built in spirit level to ensure the camera is level when taking photographs.

Three accessory shoe are now standard to allow the use of items such as multiple flash units,

extra spirit levels and of course the viewfinder.

Not immediately obvious is the new high precision focusing mount which now comes as standard across

the entire range of bodies. This mount feels and operates like the precision unit it is.

Focusing is as smooth as silk and as a result more accurate.

The new hinged back opens wide to make film loading and unloading very easy whether the camera is on
the tripod or not. 

The move to a new factory has also meant that each and every Fotoman camera is subject to higher standard

of quality control. This is evident in the overall improvement and feel of the new series.
