Re: Leaf
Hi Paul,
I think I understand your point of view as it is hard to get a complete picture without having access to the actual agreements between the few parties that are involved.
Specifically in this case, there is a lot more going on that cannot be shared and it will be irresponsible on my part to provide information that is not meant to be public. but that's life as they say...
This has less to do with wanting to be transparent and more to do with having to keep the integrity and continuity of those agreements.
Anyway, I've been asked to provide info on the current offerings and was "dragged" into this AFi discussion...to be honest I was expecting it and I have no problem answering as many question as I can, but obviously I do want to try and serve the interest of customers as well as the interest of the companies involved.

Yair -
My apologies for dragging you into the AFI discussion: it seemed a bit unclear if you were refering to the back or the camera at the time, and I was looking for clarification as to the extent of Leaf/Phase interest in the body (not just the back).
Given that the F&H project for the Hy6 was set up to be adaptable to three different ownerships (Rollei, Sinar, and Leaf), confusion is clearly possible. Perhaps there were clear dividing lines, perhaps it was "if it works, we're all fine, if it doesn't, it doesn't matter". As you suggest, some of this has to be behind closed doors.
On the consumer side of the fence, as long as we can make it work and get what we need, and know where to go.... all should be well. Hope still springs eternal as to further revival of the platform, or at least that Sinar keeps supporting it.
Again, sorry to cause complications.
