Ok so lets imagine we are those Hasselblad people sitting around that table. What would we decide bearing in mind what we had IP wise and our history?
For me
1. A digital X-Pan with 2 FF sensors stuck together. Anything that gets the size to between 30-40MB. I don't care if they are CMOS or CCD. Define a new digital format and create a new market. How many would sell? No idea but I would buy one.
2. Develop a reasonably priced 30-40MB back in combination with a modernised 203FE. Remove anything unnecessary, keep the lovely mirror sound. Keep the price at about $7,000 - $8,000 and allow all old lenses to work with it. Keep the exposure metering through the WLF. Make the package as small as possible. Oh and black. Again no idea how many people would buy one, but I would at that price.
