What is Happening to Rollie
« on: April 22, 2015, 10:31:58 am »

I know that they went bankrupt and the factory was sold at auction, but what about the cameras themselves. 

Does it appear like anyone will be continuing production of their products?

Joe,
It's too early to know…  there may be a service operation, but not sure yet about cameras.  There were several groups including mine that made efforts to buy the company and relaunch, however there were too many challenges.    At the moment I still have inventory of the Hy6 Mod2 and lenses, and there is some still available new from the 'factory'.

btw - Rolleiflex is the professional line of cameras and Rollei is the consumer line.
