I don't know where he got the "until recently". I'm glad that my FX wasn't made in Singapore. If I wanted a Chinese TLR, I have other choices. :-) Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com http://400tx.blogspot.com/ -----Original Message----- From: rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Wild Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 11:12 AM To: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [rollei_list] Re: Where are Rollei TLRs made now? Dear All, Sorry if it's a bit late to join the discussion. As far as I know they are still made at the factory by Franke & Heidecke GmbH in Braunschweig. Dietmar Kanzer emailed me the Franke & Heidecke PDF brochure files for the Rolleiflex 4.0FT (Tele), Rolleiflex 4.0FW (Wide),Rolleiflex 2.8FX, Rolleivision Dual_GB and Rolleivision MSC315. If anybody would like me to send them a set, please contact me directly.

Jefferey, the TLRs still are manufactured in Braunschweig, Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) Germany, at the historical Rollei factory by F&H GmbH. They manufacture the Rolleiflex FX and the Rolleiwide FW and a new Tele Rollei prototype was introduced in the last PMA 2006. Robert White in England is the new official F&H Rollei F&H distributor, they have the newest products like a new double fileters adapter for the TLR, youcan see the current F&H production for the TLR here: http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/rollei.htm And you can see the Tele prototype here (it's necessary to scroll the page to see the photograph and caption): http://www.photoreporter.com/article.asp?issueID=&num=&vol=&articleType=ts&a rticleID=624 Seagull in China also are manufacturing cheap TLRs All the best Carlos --- Jeffery Smith <jls@xxxxxxxxxx> escribió: > I assumed that they were still being made in Germany, but read in a > classic camera book that "until recently" they were made in Germany. > > Jeffery Smith > New Orleans, LA > http://www.400tx.com > http://400tx.blogspot.com/ > > > --- > Rollei List > > - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in > the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org > > - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' > in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org > > - Online, searchable archives are available at > //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list > > __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo!
