MV Products ?

I'm looking for more MV Product lenses. I just read somewhere they are out of business. Is that true ?

I read that too, but their website is still up. They don't answer e-mails and all the old stock left at shops is like 90% on back order.

Thought we were just talking about this, but the search isn't the best.

I was at a show running a train with MV lenses. Someone asked about them and I said I don't think they are made anymore. Someone else ran over and grabbed a pack of these:

They look the same, but maybe better. I know many places in the states sell their products.

I looked into the AK-interactive as well, but the shipping the the U.S. is brutal.  Not worth it, IMO.
