Germany’s Franke & Heideche, maker of the Rolleiflex brand of cameras, has started supplying preproduction samples of their new Hy6 medium format camera to their OEM customers Sinar and Leaf.
The Hy6, in 6×6 format, is the first digital-ready medium format camera designed to accept future digital backs with up to 48 x 48mm sensors.
Sinar’s Hy6 and Leaf’s Afi are expected to begin commercial production late next month after doing their own back integration tests.
