If I read the thread I come to the following conclusion:
-Leaf will not continue the AFI right now, they dont say if they might produce it in the future
-we dont know what happens with F&H - it is still possible that they are overtaken by another company, but they could also close the doors forever. If this happens the employees could allways work for another company producing cameras and the production equipment will also still exist.
-we dont know if the Hy6-product has much to do with the insolvency of Sinar, I believe no, others believe yes
-I assume we also dont have any numbers of sold units compared to other brands. From what I heard there are quite some new SInar-users in Germany. I also dont believe that internet forums can indicate a representetive number regarding market share of brands. I also guess it could differ between US and Europe.
-some people believe the Hy6-body needs improvement, others feel it is they most flexible and most advanced system. Nearly everybody believes the optical lenses with Rollei mount are of very fine optical quality
-some believe 6x6 is not needed, others believe that there is a chance for a larger sensor and the larger image circle of the Rollei could become a real benefit in the future.
-now its hard to say how big or small the chances are for the Hy6 to survive, I admit that i now believe the chances are not too good, but still there.
