You put it so much more delicately than I can :ROTFL:They won't put a dime back in to MF no matter how much they make. They will milk the cow as much as they can and **** right on the grass that feed them in the process.

Well frankly none of us have a clue because its unchartered territory for Hasselblad, and of course it won't help the sale of MF cameras, but if it helps Hasselblad's finances that should be a good thing.I'm not missing the point - I completely understand we aren't the target market, and like you, I also suspect that it'll sell in bucket loads in some places (and that the profit margin will be large enough to make it very worthwhile).
But it won't help with sales of MF cameras (absolutely to the contrary), and as Marc suggests, it seems very unlikely that any financial returns will be ploughed back into high end technical products.
At least 2 or 3 people here are convinced about the existence of such markets (for the fugly Lunar). :ROTFL:I hate false markets and its usually a disaster for all! No one gains from this.
Hasselblad's shareholders finances..... maybe?but if it helps Hasselblad's finances that should be a good thing.
Ha, I may like BMWs with wooden dashes, but I have to agree with you the camera looks disgusting. I think both Eastern and western cultures we can find people with good and bad taste, but I certainly won't rule out that nobody will buy it. If I am not mistaken, it was designed in Sweden, so maybe Swedes like this, at least the designing nation if i am indeed mistaken, even then it won't be everyone!No, of course the Chinese are not stupid, but this is (surely) a matter of taste, and they have very different taste and seem to like what we would call 'bling' (as do a number of other cultures).
Seems to me that it will sit nicely on the seat of your long wheelbase BMW 7 series with the wooden dash and blonde leather seats.
Personally, I think the camera is disgusting - but then it's not aimed at me.
I'm sure there will be nobody around here singing it's praises, either now or later, but I'm not so certain that it won't sell!
Good Luck To 'em I say - if Hassleblad make a profit on it there will be more for R&D for new cameras, and that must be a good thing.
Noooooooooooooooooo!so maybe Swedes like this
But they have tried something similar before. After 2 years, they have still not managed to sell the 499 H4D-40 Ferrari Edition cameras, and relatively speaking, at $30,000 those where cheap and only 50% over the list price of a normal H4D. Then there's the stainless steel version for $15,995 body only, also from two years ago, 100 copies that aren't sold either.Well frankly none of us have a clue because its unchartered territory for Hasselblad, and of course it won't help the sale of MF cameras, but if it helps Hasselblad's finances that should be a good thing.
Nice! :bugeyes:I'm ordering mine in snakeskin and swarovski crystal.
Tasteful, I thought :ROTFL:Nice! :bugeyes:
If it's not available in rhino horn with command dials made of platinum coated tiger testicles, I'm not buying :lecture:I'm ordering mine in snakeskin and swarovski crystal.
Oh . . alright then, I'll have the grip in onyx and the dials in 18ct gold please (after all, I'll have to visit the bathroom often).
:lecture: forgive them
Lol no! As a swede I object that sir!Ha, I may like BMWs with wooden dashes, but I have to agree with you the camera looks disgusting.

You mean you want to add a blender attachment, so you can mix and blend cocktails with the camera? Great idea!One thing that hasn't been addressed is 'Will it blend?'
