Are these Rollei cameras still being made?
Hi Guys-
The B&H website still lists these 4 Rollei cameras for sale....I can't seem to get onto the website for Rollei...any idea if they are still being manufactured?
Thanks,
Patrick

Yes, they are still being manufactured but in a very small scale. The company is named DHW Fototechnik. It was formed by employees of the former Rollei company "Franke & Heidecke" which went into bankruptcy a few years ago.

Rollei
You might call or email them.
For info look here http://www.dhw-fototechnik.de/

There is still really no confirmation that I've heard one way or the other regarding the Hy6. Some believe it is being sold from existing stock, and others say DHW is building new ones. Either way, you can get a much better price if you buy directly from DHW.

The current product line:
Rolleiflex 2,8 FX
Rolleiflex 4,0 FW
Rolleiflex 4,0 FT
Rolleiflex Hy 6
Rolleiflex 6008 AF
Rollei 35
Rolleivision twin MSC 315
Rolleivision twin MSC 325P
Rolleivision 66 dual P.
Their most important export market is Asia, especially China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.
In former times it was North America, but these times are gone now.
Best regards,
Henning

Is this still accurate?

the 6008 AF is way cheaper used though. I suspect all of them are, but this one can be found for a third the price, including extras.

Hello Patrick,
as far as I know yes. Exception: With the 6008 it is uncertain. Possible that it is discontinued meanwhile and the last examples are sold now.
Best regards,
Henning
