Hi,none that I know of, but I think the man to ask would be Jim Hemenway. At least I've had no problems with mine. There is something about lens compatibility that blows fuses - but that's to do with the linear motors driving the aperture in PQ and PQS lenses that are only really meant for the 6008 that draw too much power.

Hi Douglas, Can you comment on the reliability pf the Rollei 6006? Any SLX - like problems or did Rollei sort it out by the time they got to this model?

The shots are taken more or less straight of the CD I got back from the lab - of course they don't tell you what scanning parameters they used in the way of shapening (I suspect they did a lot of that - a little too much for my liking) and possibly tweaked the contrast too. I'm thinking of running them through my own scanner when I have time to see if there's a difference. In fact, on one scan on the CD the tarmac of the road was violet, even though the scans of the neighbouring negatives were ok as far as the colour is concerned - I reckon the predominant red of the shot (bricks) screws up their automatic processing. If I get a chance, the big Rollei (6006) will get taken out for a walk soon - I'm looking forward to seeing some BIG slides again.
