The collectors need an Urushi version Jan, I don't think there is a significant market today for a "standard" Rollei 35 produced regularly, it would be very expensive anyway. There were some advanced prototypes to provide the Rollei 35 with a rangefinder system, but engineers and technician couldn't find room enough in the camera to put a good rangefinder easy to manufacture, one of the prototypes worked very well but the RF required a secondary lens mounted as a loupe on the lens barrel and it was awful and difficult to manufacture. The Hy6 is pretty different regarding the SL 66, it's a %100 electronic camera and the versions for film will have the motor for the film transport incorporated into the magazines.- All the best Carlos --- Jan Decher <Jan.Decher@xxxxxxx> escribió: > Yes, too bad!
