Some of their digital cameras look like rebranded Olympus cameras.The name Rollei must sell well in Europe - I never see the Rollei brand in the US.

The true Rollei company, the Rollei Fototechnik GmbH successor, the Rollei GmbH company, is working and it seems they have no problems, but they no longer manufacture cameras, photographic accessories or products linked to photography, they manufacture nothing; Rollei became a commercial company organized to license and to administrate the brand name Rollei and to distribute some of the products linked to the name Rollei that they license. Rollei GmbH distribute consumer digital cameras and other digital products labeled Rollei, manufactured by RCP-Technik Gmbh & Co KG, I already commented they sold the Rollei-Metric System as a separated company, they have rights to distribute the Franke&Heidecke GmbH products and are the Rollei name owner for these products, they also licensed the Rollei name to several Maco films and chemical products; there are MP players using the name Rollei too. http://www.rcp-technik.com/typo3/index.php?id=rollei-home http://www.rolleifilm.com/main.php?p=p http://www.rollei-metric.com/index.php?id=12&page=home&lang=en http://www.rollei.com/ BTW, the Rollei cameras factory in Braunschweig and its photographic products is the true Rollei for most of us.- Carlos --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org- Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
