Thanks Thierry,
There may be a Hy6 in my future after all.
Glad to see Sinar get competitive prices on these.
It's a lot more money for the s65r. I don't really need the revolving back, but I might want to use LF shift. And, if I ever want to move up to another back for the Hy6 which I love, I don't think I can get any offers for a 65 back without the body.
Best,
Mitchell
-
Thierry, Thanks
These prices are close to what I expected !!!
Could you just confirm one thing.... when you shoot tethered, are you able to see the image on DB and the Computer at the same time or just Computer? Because as I remember.... not long ago ( I couldn't find the thread to point it out..) there was a talk about shooting tethered and not being able to see the image on both DB and Computer screen at the same time!!! So , I'm not sure.... who they were talking about SINAR or LEAF?
That is a deal breaker to me !!!
-
Gotta love those prices....
Not too much of course, just a little more :-)
-
Nice!
Thierry,
Is there any upgrade deal going on?
I'd love to trade up my Sinar 54LV for the esprit 65LV and save a bit of money if possible.
Regards,
Carl

Dear Natasa,
I can confirm that the image is shown in the back's display, when tethered, until the image is on the HD of the computer.

Thierry

- and can you specify the date of availability for the Hy6-65 (just after the photokina or rather end of October)

Related to the above answer.... I would like to ask for how long can I set the display so that perhaps the image display can stay longer 8,9,10,15 seconds or like Canon/Nikon you can set it to stay until you make another exposure... in my case that's the best and something I would prefer?

thierry, can you repost the prices for the lenses and finder so i see what a whole system would cost? (i know it was posted a while back).
i was quite sold on phase, but the large screen and rotating back, and speed are very usefull features. ill definitely look into this system further.

hi Mitchell,
Why not? somebody with Hy6 body shooting film, for example, or wishing to upgrade from a lower resolution.
Or then there is always the possibility to sell the complete camera system.
Best regards,
Thierry

Dear François,
I shall inform about the new reduced prices for the Hy6 - eMotion systems later today, in a separate specific thread.
Availability of the Sinar Hy6 - 65 system and Sinarback eSprit: I have no specific date, but production is starting and first to be delivered shall be for our distributors' demo units. Therefore I believe that there will certainly be a bottleneck during this period.
Best regards,
Thierry

That's funny because I was sold on phase as well and decided to wait until photokina before making a commitment.
When Thierry announced the Hy6 s65r that suddenly changed everything. What's most important to me is onsite & dealer assistance in hardware, capture, post processing, digital tech services, repair turn around time and loaner policy.
King size studios in NZ, [a href=\"http://web.mac.com/adamcustins/kingsize_sales/welcome.html]http://web.mac.com/adamcustins/kingsize_sales/welcome.html[/url] have been more than helpful and supportive in this regard

hi Willem,
There is not a "large" pricedrop, but though a drop. Further, the eMotion 54 LV has been dropped consequently already a few weeks ago, and now another drop.
As said, more later.
Best regards,
Thierry
Thierry,
will people like me who just leased a Hy6 system,get a rebate from their Sinar dealers,especially if there is a large pricedrop?
Just a thought,however I fully understand what the market dictates.
Cheers,
Willem.

Hi Thierry,
Does the Auto WB of the eSprit back work with any camera, or only the Hy6? If I used an eSprit back on a Mamiya 645 for instance, can I use the auto WB, or does it only work in conjunction with the Hy6's internal WB sensor?
Ben

as expected prices
I just saved myself a 6.000€ by NOT buying the Hy6 last year ...
Digital back price is very comfortable now !

No Patrick, you will invest this money in 2 or 3 lenses more!

Hi Ben,
YES, the "Automatic White Balance" does work on all camera bodies supported by the Sinarback eSprit 65. This has nothing to do with the RGB sensor.
Thanks and best regards,
Thierry

About every 6 months I think about changing medium format cameras and I start counting.
The HY6 lenses above at current exchange rates come to $23,359.
Then I look at the H system and adding one H body and 5 lenses (even shopping around) gets to around $20,000.
Next the Phamiya, which still seems to be a work in progress in regards to lenses and right angle grips and I assume that switch will also be around $20,000 with lenses.
Now these are just camera and lens prices and if I decided to switch digital backs, well there goes another $18,000 minimum so I ask myself what am I actually gaining for spending $30,000 to $40,000?
I guess I'm just spoiled with the ghetto prices of my Contaxs because everytime I think about one of these switches I just fold my check book up and get back to work.
For a $38,000 investment I can do a lot, add a few Parabolic umbrellas, more profotos, even some HMI's.
Now, in the world of medium format $30,000 is a drop in price to where it was a year ago and I think the new Sinar is very interesting and shows that Sinar is listening well. A dng workflow, a better lcd, in camera processing and the price for the base package is good, actually surpisingly good but in the end what am I really going to change what I can do now?
What I don't understand is why nobody but Hasselblad has a fast 110 that autfocuses. If you shoot full length people in interior locations or do portraits for advertising that mm is invaluable especially with the crop sensors.
Ask anyone that uses a Canon and most of us could weld the 85mm 1.2 on it and be fine.

Thank you Thierry. The list says "primary". Is there secondary list - I'm hoping to find a dealer in the Orlando, Florida area. I have an associate who is very interested in demo'ing the HY6-65 system and he's having trouble finding a dealer in his local area.
-
You are welcome, John.
Nope, not to my knowledge: this is the only list I know. I see however that this tile has been added very recently and says:
"If you do not see a dealer in your area please contact info@sinarbron.com and we will direct you to a local dealer"
I would suggest to contact SBI, either Colin King (cking@sinarbron.com) or Dave Mc. Ritchie (dmcritchie@sinarbron.com): they will certainly be able to give you the information.
Best regards,
Thierry

I decided to go for the Rollei 6008 system. I have never regretted this choice or found reason to reconsider.
+1... at least until the Hy6 came along
Why do you think AF is so important in MF? A good focusing screen lets you focus manually anywhere in the frame without putting the subject under an AF sensor.
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=221809\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Again, I have to agree. I have 6 lenses for the 6008AF/Hy6 and none of them are AF.
JR, one final point - it's true that the lenses can cost a lot if all bought new, but I got my 40mm PQ, 80mm PQS and 150mm PQS for under €3000. These are easy to find used. Add a new 110/2 if you like and the lens collection is still not so bad at around €7000. I doubt any Hy6 user here went out and bought a whole set of new lenses.

James,

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=221809\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Actually, I don't want to get to deep into the workings of my business, but I'm very fortunate as my business is good, even in today's climate.
And actually I have no regrets on the cameras I use. For what I do with medium format the contax's work very well. I'd like a 110 ...I'd like a leaf shutter on a 80 and 45mm but not leaf shutters for everything, so they work.
I can buy what I want tomorrow, but I never think that way, I always like to have that feeling in my stomach that I have to keep pushing forward.
As far as the 6008 I think it's a beautiful camera but would never own one. In the U.S. they have no presence and were never in rental or easy to find, much less buy.
When I went to medium format I walked in to buy an H series but I can never get my head around that camera. Some people love it, it sells well, it has an extensive lens line, but I just personally don't like it so I didn't buy. Probably never will.
You right there is no perfect camera but don't think for a moment that the makers of these things do not go through this and other forums looking for ideas on how to improve their product . . . what buyers want . . . what they don't.
In some small way I believe all of us commenting on cameras may help down the line.
Now in regards to the HY6 or Rollei or AFI or whatever it's called, I like it but there a huge holes in the lens line for autofocus.
I don't use auto often but when I do it's needed. Once again I don't want to spell out my business plan on a forum but I work in a lot of genres. Some a two shot day with huge proudciton, others a 20 shot day on a white cove.
On those 20 shot days autofocus is nice.
In regards to investing, I think there are a lot better returns than just cameras. Obviously we need them, heck I like new cameras, but 40, 50, or 60k into my studio, or promotion, or lighting can bring a higher return.
Consequently I'm not one to sell something that is still working, i.e. the contax and the phase backs. You can never buy it again for what you sell it for or at least I can't but then again I'm not big on trading cameras on e-bay or anywhere else.
There are much better ways to spend time.
But to summarize to your statement, I'm good with what I have, until I see something that is miles better or until a client says I must have it.
Then the "investment" is easy.
But to be clear, I have no absolute loyalty to camera brands, anymore than cars, production vehicles or the chair I sit on.
I do like and respect many of the people I have met with the camera companies and dealers and my loyalties are much stronger for individuals than a corporate logo, even a small corporation.
Some cameras are fun, or your build a working feel with and those tend to last a long time.
Others are just tools of the trade.

No Patrick, you will invest this money in 2 or 3 lenses more!

You know, that jedi mind-trick does not work on an internet forum. :-)
Or in real life for that matter.

-
James,
as usual you are right: there are "holes" in the AF lens line-up, but all planed lenses are now in construction and/or in production stage. Before end of the year these holes should be filled up, mostly.
Yes, AF is a nice-to-have feature for certain situations but there are also many fashion/people photographers who would never use AF. And for those, the large and bright(est) screen of the Hy6 makes manual focus easy and on the spot.
I still wish to remind people, that the Hy6 camera is probably the body accepting the most lenses, being it existing/available ones or easily available from the second-hand market: there are nearly 50 different non-AF, AF and AFD (Schneider and Zeiss) lenses available for this camera platform.
Best regards,
Thierry

[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=222021\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
In English, the best bet is ebay. Have you tried searching worldwide? There are many people in Europe who speak English too, but they usually place ads in their first language so you will have that small barrier to overcome. In the UK there are quite a few shops which sell used Rollei gear, but the selection per shop is small and hit-and-miss.

About lenses for Hy6,
what does it means : "as long as stock lasts" ???
Are these lenses no longer manufactured ?
Is Zeiss 110mm could be soon replaced by a new AFD model ?
-
As regards a UK supplier of Rollei lenses, the name you'll usually hear is:
Robert White (http://www.robertwhite.co.uk)
Otherwise, I second the eBay thing. I've just picked up a used (Mint-) 110mm/f2 for £1000 - a snip given that the 'new' price in the UK is around £3900. Apparently, only 500 of the f2 were ever made (can anyone confirm?), but that aside, I'm happy to have gotten hold of one - beautiful bokeh!
From what I've been told, Zeiss no longer make glass for Rollei/Hy6 in its varying guises, so any of the Zeiss lenses out there are "as long as stock lasts". Again, I'm happy to be corrected on this!
Best wishes all,
-
Off topic, but is 'guano' any part of your name? That's quite a choice for an anonymous handle.
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=222055\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
It was a nickname I picked up a while back and it stuck. Yes, I know what 'guano' is, but it didn't have anything to do with that wonderful natural fertiliser...

Thanks for the responses.
There does seem to be a bit more on Ebay now.

Does one have the option of using a Leaf or Sinar back on the Rolleiflex Hy6 camera? if so this would be a great advantage to the photographer and if not

Yes, of course, David: this has been communicated since the beginning, that any brand (Rolleiflex Hy6, Afi, Sinar Hy6) will accept the digital backs supported by the Hy6 from either Leaf or Sinar.

What does tthat mean, " I can't say if those lenses are discontinued, but Sinar will not longer carry and sell them."
Are these lenses going to conitnue to be sold by anyone or is it all Schneider for new lenses for the Hy6?

All those Rolleiflex lenses (and accessories) are sold by the Rolleiflex distributors as well, worldwide. I expect this to continue that way. I have no information of lenses being discontinued, except for the 120 Macro and which will be replaced by the new 120 Macro.

Thanks Thierry,
About a week ago I was almost convinced tha the Phase camera was the way to go. Now it looks like it will be a Sinar (depending on how Leaf price thir new backs).
Two questions:
- ISO 200-800: Is that correct? Not good for landscapes. (or the ISO 800 is totally clean)
- Are these prices recommended including taxes? Or will each country add their taxes on these prices?
Thanks

Dear Samuel,
- ISO settings will be 100 to 800. It has been confirmed in our latest info and brochure.
- Prices are always without taxes, each country having its tax system.
Best regards,
Thierry

Hi Theirry,
Am I to assume that the eSprit 65LV back sold separately is the same back as the Hy6 s65r without the ratating adaptor? Also will the shooting speed and onboard
processing speeds be the same for the back used with cameras other than the Hy6?
Thanks!

Dear Karen,
Yes, that is right: the Sinarback eSprit 65 is the same back as the one in the Sinar Hy6 s65r camera system, w/o revolving adapter.
All features of this back will be exactly the same (on-board processing, speed, etc ...), regardless of the camera platform used.
Best regards,
Thierry
