Mamiya America still imports Sekonic. I confirmed it by going to the
websites for Mamiya America and Sekonic USA. They list the same physical
address for both companies. I suspect that they removed all references to
the MAC Group from Sekonic's site because Mamiya America has such a bad
reputation. Even the Mamiya website no longer says MAC Group. Just says
Mamiya, but the address and phone number are the same as MAC, and the site
still has a page warning about importing grey-market goods.
