Understood!Not before launch date!
this is what I read.. "The H4X provides a fantastic successor or an upgrade to your H1 or H2/HF body"what I've seen suggests that this is only available as an upgrade for H1 and H2 users
this rumormill stuff always confuses me... does this mean I should start buying up old H1 and H2s for resale to Phase One MFDB users who want to ditch their Phamiya and have enough cash lying around to buy a used H body and the upgrade price to step up to H4X?
:deadhorse:
maybe the perfect time for Phamiya to come out with a Mamiya ZD-X that combines their MF body and DB in one unit...
Patience, patience, Hasselblad will announce the camera of your dreams and blow your socks off in a day or two....but more important for the moment this
will hopefully put a fire under someones butt and announce the new body like now. Do us a favor blow our socks off.

:ROTFL:Derek, yes, I know, I was being a tad mischievous.
Amusing though, all these Phase One users praying to the gods for deliverance from the dreaded DF and when it comes it's from the wrong manufacturer.

I've always strongly suspected that there was no technical reason the improvements of the H3/H4 required pairing the back to the body nor required actively disabling functionality when a third party back was placed on the body. True Focus, in the limited situations where it is useful, is a great idea, and the HC28mm and HC35-90mm will be welcome additions to the inventory of rental houses and photographers who use their H system with a Phase back. None of that required Hassy to become a closed system.
The only technical improvement they gained by requiring body-back pairing was a decrease in tolerances for back/viewfinder focus registration. And this is something that is just as easily accomplished by lowering the acceptable tolerances in the body and back and offering free service to anyone who purchases and feels their registration is not spot on.

this is what I read on the Hasseblad H4X website this morning (my red highlight):this is what I read.. "The H4X provides a fantastic successor or an upgrade to your H1 or H2/HF body"
so nothing to worry about..
Rumour has it that True Focus was specifically designed for Guy Mancuso.i find the "limited situations" to be every time i shoot people !! (not so important i agree when shooting things that dont move..) true focus is truely awesome
