Hasselblad Announcement -New Chapter!

[Keith]

To quote you: I agree totally with this ... it reflects my sentiment perfectly. I did not mean to disparage Dave with my comments, and apologies to all, epsecially Dave, for any insult.


Of course no apologies for my post, either... Hassy has earned the right to be mocked, and also to be praised for some amazing gear that has been of value to many.

I realised that but a couple of other posts have been a bit harsh on him I thought! lol

And yes ... Hassy have definitely earned the right to be mocked. 😛

Still 1 day 18 hours...I vote for a revised version of the X1D...

All I could say was wow, that's pretty neat.

What is this? Digital back with screen? Is it working as film back replacement for classic Hasselblad?
....I just watched video. So hard to believe it just this simple.

 

[raydm6]

Yes. Forward and backward compatible.

"...Bridge the past and the present with the modernized CFV II 50C attached to a classic Hasselblad V System camera. Merge the CFV II 50C with the 907X to create a whole new combination that enables shooting with a variety of Hasselblad optics, ranging from the V System to our modern XCD Lenses. ..."

 

[CharlesDAMorgan]

Wow!

It is a digital back to work with the V system, and a replacement for the SWC body that works with all classic and modern Hasselblad lenses with adapters. No doubt it will not be in my price range, but what a lovely thing!

What! A NEW SWC model?! 907x

That’s better news than predicted!

 

[Larry Cloetta]

The people behind the Hasselblad Lunar have been long gone for a long time. This is very cool, can’t afford one. Yet.

Great-looking Hasselblad design, and compatible with all those legacy lenses/bodies.. well done, Hasselblad! They are back in the game. Good to see!

 

[sepiareverb]

They’ve been busy in the design department!

 

[raydm6]

The body profile is nuts! I guess removing the crank facilitates that. 🙂

Agree. They are very much back in the game. Design is so sexy. To be honest,this is the first MFD camera that really make me start thinking about selling my Leicas/Rolleiflexes.

Good job Hasselblad!.

How much sensor crop factor is affecting it? Is it just works as 645 instead of 6×6?

According to PDN (43.8 x 32.9 mm)

Could that be correct?

 

[Calzone]

Design is so sexy.

This is like a camera orgasm.

X1D II looks like a solid competitor to Fujifilm's GFX 50R.

Did anyone else see the video for the CFV II 50C digital back?

(Scroll down to the "Our Legacy, Your Future" video)

Who knew the folks at Hasselblad were such sentimental softies. Perhaps not a logical product versus buying a H1D II plus V lens adapter, but if they can reign in the price..?

I've been researching potential digital backs for the SWC for the past couple of years but there's always been issues in that department. This is literally what I wish for. In 10 years mabye..
