[rollei_list] What's happening with the 6008?

Hi all,

While reading about Leica's purchase of 51% of Sinar
(http://www.sinar.ch), I noticed that one of Sinar's medium format cameras
(the one pictured on their home page) was created as a collaboration with
Franke & Heidecke. That made me curious -- as did their odd claim that
this particular camera was the first MF camera with a rotating 645 back -- 
about the current state of the 6008 series. So, I visited the Rollei site
only to find them curiously absent from their product lineup. Anyone have
insights as to what is going on?

An aside, can we now think of Leicas as the "budget line" in the company's
offerings?  ;-)

Neil
