The Rolleiflex Hy6 is a robust compact medium format camera developed for digital camera backs of Sinar. It was developed by Franke & Heidecke. Jenoptik paid for the construction of the camera. At the Photokina 2006 Jenoptik and Leaf decided to produce this camera together for Leaf's digital camera backs as Leaf AFi. At the same fair Sinar introduced it as Sinar Hy6. The Rolleiflex and the Sinar are hybrid cameras that allow the use of different camera backs, square or (turnable) rectangle format, and even film backs or digital backs of Leaf. Franke & Heidecke suggests its camera for use with Rolleiflex System 6000 lenses, as well as the Schneider and Zeiss lenses made for it.

The Leaf AFi camera is made for sensors with 6×6 cm image format but has a compact format like a 4.5×6 cm camera. The high-resolution CCDs of the models 6 and 7 are made by Dalsa, with "film speeds" from 50 to 800 ASA, while the fast CCD of the AFi 5 allows an exposure frequency of 75 images/min. . The user can choose between a waist level finder or the characteristic pentaprism finder with telescopic ocular. New high-precision autofocus lenses for the cameras are produced by Schneider-Kreuznach. It has an adjustable handgrip. If a rectangled CCD is used instead of a quadratic one the image format can be changed from vertical to horizontal by turning the camera back. The Leaf AFi camera is unique in providing a 6×7cm touch screen on its back, where a true 1:1 RAW image can be seen and manipulated. In addition, the camera sensor was developed with room to grow; allowing for the integration of even larger CCDs when developed.

More characteristic than the large CCDs is the fact that all these cameras have a leaf shutter, a quite fast one, driven by a linear motor, flash synchronized up to its highest speed (1/1000 sec.).

The Hy6 and AFi cameras arrived on the market in autumn 2007.
