Hi all,
I had aquired a very nice Rollei X-act for use with my Ixpress back. The two lenses are razor sharp and the multishot works perfect.... but now there is the HTS wich also offers a lot of movements and seems a perfect replacemen for my X-act. I already had put my x-act up for sale but again nowbody seems interested( probably because it still costs a lot of money ) but i am worried that prices will go into a free fall now.

That's the way it works in any free enterprise system. Prices of the latest technology fall as newer technology is introduced; you will always "lose" money on technology over time.

And if you think the "loss" on your X-Act is bad, buy a new car, drive it off the lot, and then check its value.

I would not consider the hts as a complete replacement for the xact.. it does offer front movements
and halfway to being a view camera which the rollei xact is. I would not swap the hts for my xact
despite it's shortcomings..
