Title: Question for Hy6 / Afi owners
Post by: nad54 on October 15, 2009, 01:48:30 pm

Hi

I hope any owners with Hy6 or AFi cameras can help me out. I am getting rid of some Rollei 6008 equipment that I never got round to using. One item that is nice is a mint Rollei variable extension tube. It is a bit of a monster but works really well.

Do you know if it works with the AFi and Hy6. I am guessing it is pretty rare. I know they were really expensive new.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I can't answer positively, but I would think if it works on a 6008, it will work on a AFI or Hy6.

Best,

Mitchell

Yes, the VARIO does work with the Hy6.  I have both.  After purchasing it ($1,600) I found it easier to work with the excellent Schneider 90 Makro, but no discredit to the features of the VARIO.

Yes, the zoom extension tube 22-68mm is compatible with Hy6 / AFi systems.
