Didn't you hear about the fighting in Mumbai? Some Hasselblad guys tried to break into the Phase One assembly plant and you know what happened next. Soon enough there were hotel bombings and hostages and the crazies demanding to know where the 45-90mm Mamiya lens was. Fortunately the police promised that the H3 would be opened to 3rd party backs if they would surrender. That's the underlying reason why the leaf shutter lenses have been delayed.
Seriously though I didn't mean anything by my comments. You all know I have a great deal of respect for Hasselblad and have always agreed that they make top-notch products. Wherever/whoever/however the H system is made it's a great product. There are things it does better than the Mamiya body and things the Mamiya body does better than it.
Now if they would just stop blocking us from putting our backs on it...
