I was exactly NOT thinking of a high end luxury product! That's been
the problem with the FX, FW etc. concept.
Actually, I think a 6x6 and/or 6x9 folder with a Tessar lens and
coupled rangefinder could be a hit. Sth. in the style of a Bessa II or
Super Ikonta. Price would have to be under $400 though! I a sure it
can be done with modern precision mass production, good lens included.
Fujifilm/Voigtlander 667 re-make was too $$!
Found a very clean smooth working 2,8F Planar for 750 Euros today, no
caps, strap, case or hood though. Good price??

Hi - sad news.
But I think there are affordable TLR are all over the place: ebay.
To launch a business with "old" Rolleifilm-concepts, Rollei would have
to relaunch their brand first: High end, luxury products - the very same
way like Leica.
I doubt that the market for new TLR would be big enough.
