The previous rumors were that Franke & Heidecke would be shutting down its operations for good, but now the latest report from Photoscala brings some hope to the 89 years old company, producer of the Rollei cult-camera (Google translation):
“In a first extension were 20 employees for outstanding work for two weeks engaged in early October. After this period, a new intermediate solution could be realized by the end of October.”

They should make a digital TLR (square sensor, normal lens etc.). I would buy one. Maybe two.
I’m thinking that this camera has been at the top of the rumors page for FAR FAR too long.
Roliflex medium format SLR’s are fantastic cameras. They also made cameras for Leaf. I was really sad to see them go. Glad that there is hope for them.
these things are awesome. they need to find a way to make a digital version.
The digital version which looks like the old cameras.. this would be awesome!
