olegmoiseyenko Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Russia could became a first country where Rollei Hy6 will hit the market!

oskar_ojala Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Quite steep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olegmoiseyenko Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 <b>Oskar:</b> <br>Most likely these prices are not final and could be different slightly geographically. <br>-- <br>Kind regards, <br>Oleg (aka <b><a href="http://www.pbase.com/omoses">oMoses</a></b>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_richardson Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Whoa, I thought I heard that they were going to price them close to what the 6008AF sold for...I got a demo 6008af with 80/2.8 AF, back and everything else for 3000...less than a third of the price. Are you sure that does not include some sort of digital or something else? I know Eli Kurland and Ctrades sell 6008 digital kits with older backs for around that price. I spent more than a year living in Russia and never met anyone who would be able to even imagine paying that much for a camera. Eto prosto bezumniy!

wolf_rainer_schmalfuss Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Stuart! In the meantime, there are people in Russia, which can afford the HY6 even gold plated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olegmoiseyenko Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 <b>Stuart:</b> I agree with your point and cannot confirm currently that these prices are official and final. IMHO, it is too easy to inflate them even with 100% profit while Hy6 has not released to everywhere...<br><br><b>Wolf:</b> This is true... ;)<br>--<br>Kind regards,<br>Oleg (aka <b><a href="http://www.pbase.com/omoses">oMoses</a></b>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_richardson Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Erik -- that's more along what I expected...it seems a more reasonable price. So do you have one on order? When can we expect your comments on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik scanhancer Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Stuart, these prices are list prices, meaning that street prices could be up to 20% lower (depending on your negotiating position and -tactics). I don't have one on order. Digital backs are still too expensive for my use because my activities are divided between photography and film making. I simply don't take enough pictures to justify the investment and besides that I shoot a lot of B&W, which calls for the use of film. The Hy6 camera itself (with a film back) is another story of course. It is high on my wish list. But before I buy one I will try to publish a review based on a production line model.

stuart_richardson Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I was referring to the film version at 3155...the digital prices are still on another level. It might make sense for a professional with very high turnover, but for an amateur or emerging pro it is really not an option. In any case, I look forward to the review if you write one...and if you write it in English, as my Dutch is non-existant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
