Hello all !
On July 23, 2009, an update about what is happening at F&H in
Braunschweig has been published on photoscala.de
http://www.photoscala.de/Artikel/Duestere-Aussichten-fuer-Franke-Heidecke-und-die-Hy6
The legal situation bout ownership of rights on the products fabricated
by the F&H company seems to be a _very_ complex affair.
The developments of the HY6 were paid by Jenoptik with some intricated
issues with Leaf, now a subsidiary of Phase One, and both companies are
entangled with Kodak for license rights on digital back technology !!
However, the article on photscala.de dated july 23 mentions that the
legal administrator is still looking for somebody who would continue the
twin-lens reflex camera line as well as projectors and electronic
shutters. Those shutters besides the 600x lenses, are mounted on demand
on Schneider and Linos-Rodenstock view camera lenses; available in sizes
#0 and #1, they are perfect for recent "digital" view camera lenses of
short focal lengths.
quote :
"In Braunschweig versucht man nach Angaben des Insolvenzverwalters
derzeit noch Lösungen für die Zweiäugigen, die Projektoren, die
Fachverschlüsse sowie den Werksservice zu finden."
end quote
So Rollei TLR aficionados, there is still some hope...
But as far as the HY6 is concerned, the future is "Duestere-Aussichten"
("dark prospects" ? )
