this is the current manifestation of Club Rollei now in Australia presented by 
Jaap Roskam.

 

The Los Angeles manifestation follows below. This is an email from Mark Meijer 
who was a real aficionado of Rollei.  My last correspondence with him sometime 
late 2003. The last I heard; from Hadley Chamberlain; was that Mark was very 
sick and past away.

Email from Mark Meiger

 

“CORRECTION. In our last newsletter, we stated that the new owner of Rollei 
were an investment group called Jebsen. This is not correct. Jebsen has no 
connection with Rollei. We apologize for this error.”

Happy Easter to our Global RolleiClub members!

 

Spring 2003, and we are so proud to have a lot of very good & exciting news 
about Rollei and the Club.

 

1.    Global RolleiClub web site finally finished

 

After 4 years of construction, we are happy to announce that our RolleiClub web 
site is now complete and up to date. The club site now covers every single 
camera ever made by Rollei since 1920, and even more, we have mapped most 
accessories and lenses and all related Rollei products such as projectors, 
movie cameras, tripods, binoculars… Have a look at the completed web site at 
www.rolleiclub.com <http://www.rolleiclub.com/> . You’ll be amazed. This is a 
unique web site which offers the most complete information about everything 
Rollei with color pictures anywhere.

 

2.  The new RolleiClub 2 CD-set “Rollei Innovations”

 

RolleiClub has received folders with only recently recovered original files and 
product photos from Rollei factory archives! We have compiled a 2 CD set which 
contains scans of these unique files and pictures from Rollei archives. The 
archive files contain data about the most prominent Rollei Innovations from 
1920 to 1989, and there is a preface signed by then Rollei CEO Wolfgang Sass, 
authenticating the information provided in the files. RolleiClub has added and 
completed this information for the years from 1990 till today.

 

The data sheets reveal some new information about serial numbers & production 
dates of Rollei products, amongst others. The archive files are supplied as 
high resolution scans and also as online book (PDF Acrobat Reader, 190 pages). 
The CDs also include 600 DPI scans of original factory product pictures 
contained in the archive files and a complete chronological overview of mayor 
events in the Rollei history 1920 to 2003.

 

The CD set also contains an edited offline version of the complete RolleiClub 
and SL66 web sites for easy and quick reference (plus some manuals for 
cameras). The CD set represents the most complete overview about Rollei 
products & history with color pictures ever published.

 

The CD set will not be outdated: a download service provides updated files to 
be integrated into your library. The 2 CD-set is available exclusively through 
RolleiClub at an introductory price of only $ 18.50 plus shipping (general 
price $ 24.50 after May 31st, 2003).

3.  Rollei under new ownership

 

In December of 2002, Rollei was acquired by a Scandinavian investment group. 
Rollei will now have better access to digital technology and funding to expand 
into the digital consumer market.

 

4.  New Rollei digital cameras for consumers

 

Rollei just released 4 new digital cameras. They are beautiful, sleek & small. 
The camera’s features are up to date and  include movie & sound recording and 
optical zoom lenses (Rollei quality). They come from 2 MP to 3.4 MP at this 
time and will be very competitive priced. Please see 
http://rolleiclub.com/rollei/digital/index.htm for details. RolleiClub is 
currently testing these cameras and sample pictures will be posted on the web 
site shortly. RolleiClub is an official Rollei USA dealer, and these new 
digital cameras are available for ClubMembers starting as low as $ 169!

 

Rollei is alive and well. More exiting products will follow soon.

 

Have a great time using your Rollei equipment.

Hello all:

 

Does anyone have experience with Club Rollei?  I refer to one that has a PO Box 
in Los Angeles.  I'm looking to recover a pair of SL66's and they offer a 
diamond surface upgrade.

 

Cheers,

 

Peter
