Avoca Dawn on the Fotoman 624 ( Fotoman 6×24 )

Seeing I showed you guys the Fuji 617 shot from this sunrise I thought I would put up the Fotoman 624 shot. You should see the tranny this thing makes bloody incredible, especially when it is from a sunrise like this.

This camera is with me all the time now so I will be adding more shots I take with this beast.

This is a sale that I wish I didn’t have to make but there is camera equipment I need to buy and the Minister of Finance and Affairs (the wife) will not approve more camera purchases without me sacrificing some gear I already have.

So here it is. My Fotoman 624 fitted with the Schneider 110mm Super Symmar XL lens. Complete with Schneider center filter and will also come with the magnetic ground glass. The ground glass is only a month old and comes in its own protective case.

This camera was purchased new in February 2009 from Mainline Photographics in Sydney.

This camera is in as new condition and has had about 15 rolls of film run through it.

All up this kit has cost me around $7000 and I am selling it all for $5000. Will courier anywhere in the world, but only via registered traceable means.

Further details on the cameras specs can be found on the Fotoman website. Click here.

If you have any questions, want additional images sent to you etc please don’t hesitate to call me on 0414 374 533 or email through my site.

THE CAMERA IS STILL FOR SALE

20 rolls of film in for processing (Velvia 50 120 and Velvia 50 220)

Some how I have managed to end up with 20 rolls of film for processing. I had to sit back and think long and hard about what was on them, I guess I will find out on Friday when I get it all back. The rolls of 120 are from my new Fotoman 6×24 which will be great to see and the 220 is from the GX617.

I am working on a video post to show you all the Fotoman 6×24 as they aren’t a common sight even for the film photographers among us so stay tuned.

As you can see in the picture I use Vision Image Lab for my processing. They are the best and I have used them my whole career. If you find a good lab, stick to it, no matter where you move to.

For those who have a keen eye, in the shot I only have 16 rolls, I added another 4 from a morning shoot on Monday.

Fotoman Cameras Ceasing Production

Today I was talking with Scott the owner of Main Line Photographic’s (who is the Fotoman Retailer in Australia) regarding selling my Fotoman 6×24 and he told me some interesting news that the company “Fotoman” is ceasing production on all its camera’s and disbanding.

On the Fotoman web site (under their Q&A section) they talk about still offering full support and parts for their cameras and the future of the company etc.

As us film shooters know the Fotoman 6×17 camera was and still is for the time being while stocks last, a great option to shoot the format with the Schneider lens without breaking the bank. (Linhof uses the same lenses and a new one will cost you $12 grand where the Fotoman with the same lens is around $6 grand). Then you have the Fotoman 6×24 like I have that pumps out a crazy sized tranny (22.4cm x 5.6cm).

If you are interested or were ever looking to get a Fotoman get in quick while stocks last apparently they are depleting quickly.
