Phase One

Phase One is a Danish maker of digital camera backs. Phase One works closely together with sensor makers like Dalsa. The company made a large investment in Mamiya late in 2007, and Mamiya is described as 'a Phase One company' on its global website. Phase One also bought Leaf, which was previously one of its main competitors, in 2009.
