Hasselblad's new product announcement of the new modular body and the updated back, coupled with the ability of the new body to use XCD series lenses as well as V system lenses via a mount adapter, is right on the money for me.

I don't know whether I'll buy any time soon, or ever, but this is what I expect from Hasselblad. And they have done it beautifully.

My Hasselblad V system is not for sale. 😀

CFV-50C using a 50MP 43.8 x 32.9 mm CMOS sensor. So the CFV-50C mark II use the same sensor?

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

All depends on the price.

Yes, I believe so. Updated electronics, a new screen, etc, are what the update provides. Also likely compatibility with the 907 body.

Fit that back on the 907 body, fit that with the XCD 21mm lens, crop to a square, viola! You have a fully digital SWC, all native mounting and AF to boot... 🙂

Damn, I want one. Sigh. :bang:

So with the 907, how would one control aperture/shutter speed? Those aren’t on the lenses anymore, or?

Touch screen???

Touch screen???

Would have to be, right? There are no controls on the camera itself!

OW,

I'm just guessing.

My SL can be used like an IPAD. These touch screens have really advanced.

I wonder about weatherproofing? Modern AF lenses use internal focus. A touch screen with no knobs, buttons or switches suggest perhaps weatherproofing.

If weatherproof it is a big deal.

907X and CFV II 50C will be in my dreams, day and night.

 

[nlubis]

According to PDN (43.8 x 32.9 mm)

Could that be correct?

Still, the matter of shooting vertical would posed same 'challenge' with it. No?

I'm certain that the controls are all soft for XCD lenses. This is what also enables the camera to be operated completely from a tethered controller.

V system lenses, of course, you work manually from the lens.

X system lenses and mount are all weather-sealed. I would bet that the 907 body is too, and seals the CFV 50C II when it is mounted.

It's not hard to shoot 'verticals' with a Hasselblad solid-state body that has a rear mounted LCD... It's just not so easy with a waist level finder on a reflex body because you have to look into the finder with the camera held sideways.

Similarly, if you fit a 500CM with the right angle prism finder, it's easy then too. 🙂

Robert,

Same here, but even so it is a remarkable camera.

Yes, this is very exciting indeed.
I am still content using my iPhone 8 with the M8 and M9. :angel: 😎 😀

Cool cameras for Sure... but not for me.

Cool video juxtaposing metaphors for analog/digital technology (no 907x in video however - using a 501cm):
