The small LF camera makers it seems aren't able to keep up with demand. Any 2x3" or 4x5", of course, is potentially a hybrid camera as well. I don't know that Sinar is doing much for film these days, but Linhof still seems to have the traditional cameras in stock like the Master Tech Classic and Tech 3000, as well as the newer more digitally oriented view cameras that can also take rollfilm, like the 679 series and the Techno. Not sure about the current state of the Master GTL, the big studio camera.

Rollei Hy6 is still available from DHW in Germany, B&H, and some specialty shops in Hong Kong. They even have a new 6x6 film back released last year (which is fantastic, btw, but expensive).

Wow, I thought I'd get like three replies all saying "no." I personally don't buy new cameras, but my students and friends are constantly asking. One thing, the Vivitar is dreadful. I try to steer my students away from them. And I haven't seen the Cosina for sale anywhere. I was amazed to see the Kenko. Thanks for that. As usual the APUG Gang has really come through. Also, after first posting this thread, I walked out of my apartment and a guy on my block was having a stoop sale. He had a fully working very clean Pentax K-1000 for sale for $25.00, with a camera bag and lens cap. Bought it. I'm accumulating 35mm film cameras for my students.
