Title: New Hy6 lenses
Post by: rethmeier on July 27, 2007, 07:14:13 am

I have a question for Thierry.
As I like the idea of new lenses for the Hy6,will there be an option for AF or non AF?
I fully realize the new lenses are digital ready(Hence AFD).however who want's a 35mm AFD lens?
Actually I would love the whole new range of Digital ready to be available as manual focussing
as well.
Cheers,
Willem.

Dear Willem,

the new Schneider lenses to be introduced will all be AF, so the 35mm probably as well, although I have no specific indication about this lens at the moment, since it will be available after all the other focal lengths.

However, all the current Schneider AF AND non-AF, as well as following lenses from Zeiss (non-AF) which fit the 6008 can as well be used on the Sinar Hy6:

Zeiss Distagon 4/50 EL HFT PQ
Zeiss Planar 2/110 HFT PQ
Zeiss Makro Planar 4/120 HFT PQS
Zeiss Sonnar 4/150 HFT PQS
Zeiss Sonnar 5.6/250 HFT PQS

Hope this answers.

Best regards,
Thierry

Thanks Thierry!
I'm aware of the current range.
I was just curious about the new digital ready range coming out.
Regards,
Willem.
