UPdate on the status
Well very harsh words, and grim reality ... for those who do not know German, here's the lowdown
- F&H is effectively Bankrupt
- F&H now holds no right to the patent, technology nor even the Rollei name , in effect F&H just a contract Mfr and brand the Rolleiflex using the Rollei name ( owned by Rollei GmBH )
- F&H already sold off its scientific / instrument section end of 2008
- The Hy6 belongs to Jenoptek, and F&H just contracted to manufacture and service, and allowed to brand their veriosn under condition F&H only sell those with film backs
- Business negotiation between F&H to Leaf/Jenoptek was not successful
- F&H also hold nothing in tangeble asset the machine in their factory is leased, and the old F&H HQ building is rented out ...
In short, F&H had stripped itself of all thing , and simply put right now just don;t and cannot continue .. And its said that no more Rolleiflex likely
