40+ years of having used a Hasselblad V, and I have nothing but fond memories.
Just the experience of holding one, the thrill of winding it and the sense of trust it instilled. Nothing has ever replaced that. It is just an engineering masterpiece.
Reminds me of the old Yogi Berra quip ... "That place is so popular, no one goes there any more." .... the V is so well made nobody buys new ones unless they have money to burn.
There-in lies the problem.
The digital age requires obsolescence ... companies now have to make your current gear seem worthless ... make it seem your camera is a Dodo Bird after 2 or 3 years. That life isn't worth living unless you get the new ZhaZaam MK-V ... and all new lenses because the old ones can't keep up with the MK-V.
Hasselblad seems to have bottled that lighting with the new Lunar ... it'll be totally obsolete before anyone can even buy one
RIP: V for Victor
