The Rolleiflex Hy6 is an advanced medium format camera for film and digital applications that can accept pro digital backs and an auto focus zoom lens. It will be unveiled by Direct Source Marketing (DSM) during the PhotoPlus Expo at the Javitz Center in New York from October 18-20th, 2007.

The new camera is a film-digital combination that features a unique open system not only for high-end digital backs, but also for 6×4.5 and 6×6 format films.
