Hello all!

I've bee reading silently this newsgroup for months, back to action!

This is another example of licensing the trade name "Rolleiflex" to a
3-rd party company, namely the company fabricating this camera named
"Instantflex TL70"

Rollei GmbH & Co KG (formerly: RCP Technik) owns the trademarks
"Rollei" and "Rolleiflex", so they can do whatever they want.

There has been another « Rolleiflex » in the recent past, do you
remember this ... ahem ... gadget?

In 2006, this low-resolution digital gadget existed when I visited F&H
in Braunschweig with Dirk-Roger ... at the time, the honourable
company located 196, Salzdahlumer Str. in Braunschwieg no longer owned
the legendary trademarks ... 12 years ago!

As we say (ironically) in French: "On vit une époque formidable!"
We're living in a great time!
