PRESS RELEASE

Brunswick, June 12, 2007
“Routine? Consider it done! Working magic, though, may take a little longer…”
The first Hy6 cameras were delivered to Jenoptik, Laser, Optik, Systeme GmbH for their Sinar subsidiary as well as to our customer Leaf with a delay of six weeks. The cameras will now be fitted with Sinar and Leaf digital backs and subjected to exten-sive testing as Sinar Hy6 and Leaf Afi, respectively.

Hy6 Assembling (1000x600px, 150Kb)
At the same time, Franke & Heidecke will run their own stringent tests on the analog version of the Rolleiflex Hy6. It goes without saying that customers can at any time equip their analog Hy6 with a digital back by Sinar or Leaf. The Hy6 will go on sale only after all these tests have been successfully concluded. This is presently expected to be the case by the end of July 2007.
The last few weeks have amply proved the viability of the partnership between Jen-optik and Franke & Heidecke, all difficulties and deadlines notwithstanding. After all, Jenoptik had to commit themselves, based on the deadlines developed jointly with Franke & Heidecke.
Franke & Heidecke´s Research and Development Department has created a new highlight for photographers everywhere. For their part, Jenoptik - responsible for the electronic systems - have done their utmost to ensure the timely completion of fully functional Hy6 cameras.
Whoever has practical experience in the implementation of novel technical concepts will be well aware of potentional problems. The cameras now presented do not mean that a finished product were already available. All the partners concerned are still busy preparing for the beginning of series production.
The Hy6 undoubtedly awaits a great future. Designed for the 6x6cm negative size, it is predestined to handle future high-resolution 48x48mm sensors used in digital backs.
Particularly attractive for users of Rolleiflex System 6000 equipment is the fact that all their lenses will fit the Hy6 seamlessly. However, continual improvement of digital backs also calls for the development of new lenses. Franke & Heidecke have already taken up the design of such lenses to satisfy the demands of exacting professionals.
The successful development of the Hy6 is sure to be followed by further highlights from Franke & Heidecke.
