YES WE ARE! These guys just keep coming back for more abuse. http://photorumors.com/2012/09/11/new-cameras-from-rolleiflex-hy6-mod2-and-f x-n/ Or http://tinyurl.com/9tnfxgt A new twin lens Rolleiflex out which really does look gorgeous the Rolleiflex FX-N. An update of the FX but to me it looks a bit differently turned out. And on the bottom lens rim it says Made by Fototechnik . DHW Fototechnik is said to be employees of the former Franke & Heidecke. Its lens is called a " Rollei S-Apogon 80mm f/2.8 " It does shoot 120 and as so do I so this is great news. Also new and gorgeous from the alive Rollei people who ever they are now for Photokina is the new cute and gorgeous : " Rolleiflex Hy6, a medium format beauty manufactured in Germany that has both film and digital backs. " As much as I've loved TLR Rollei shooting since 1975 I think the HY6 looks absolutely more luscious than any camera I've seen in years. Compact and very formidable looking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollei Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/
