Title: Franke & Heidecke reopens!!
Post by: favalim on October 22, 2009, 06:24:28 pm
Today I've been told by my local distributor that  Franke & Heidecke is going to announce the good news probably next week.
He couldn't tell me more than this, anyway I'm happy now to know that my Hy6 will have a longer future now ... let's hope ...

Yes, that was also what I have been told privately at F&H. More here (in German): http://www.photoscala.de/Artikel/Noch-bren...Franke-Heidecke (http://www.photoscala.de/Artikel/Noch-brennen-die-Lichter-bei-Franke-Heidecke)

A final solution for the continuation of the F&H business should be in view towards the end of October.

Meanwhile the legal situation around the Hy6 / AFi camera is being sorted out. Stay tuned :-)

A final solution

Unfortunate word choice related to a German company.
