Fujifilm, Rollei closed their factories

[bence8810]

Regarging the factory tours, I don't have any information about it. I'm sorry. A bit of google search tells me they once conducted guided tours for public on a regular basis, but it seems it had ended years ago (around 2009).

Thanks for looking it up!

well when it came to the inevitable purchase of a Rolleiflex, I too thought long and hard about the current model, and went with a CLAd 2.8E2. Not due to price, but the newer one just is not as nice a camera as the vintage flexes. I was surprised that there is a market for newly made Rolleiflexes at all (at that quality/price point especially)
