US Importer of Rollei?

[Rob Skeoch]

I can never seem to find this information on the web.

Does anyone know who the official importer of Rollei cameras is for the USA?

Franke & Heidecke, manufacturer of the Rollei medium format camera in Germany, and Komamura (Horseman), a leading manufacturer of medium and large format cameras in Japan, last month announced their joint venture to distribute their medium and large format professional cameras in the U.S. through Komamura and doing business as Direct Source Marketing. DSM was created as a result of the joint venture between Komamura Corporation, a long time distributor of Rollei and Horseman products in Japan, and Franke & Heidecke, the Germany-based manufacturer of Rollei professional products.

I don't know for US but for Canada...

In Canada it is:

Blazes Photographic

Their prices are a bit high in my opinion. He is the distributor but he said to me that no retail store wanted to get Rolleiflex TLRs on their shelfs...?!? The price he offered me was 1000$ more than in the US! And he is not a retailer. By the way his website is down since more than a year. Well.

I hope that you are planning to sell these marvelous cameras.

If you can get Rolleiflex 2.8FX at a good price, I will be your first customer!
