Adding increased functionality or striving for higher quality by integration does not prohibit openness. There are zero technical reasons why the Hasselblad 28mm lens cannot be used with a Phase One back. There is no reason why the H3 body cannot be used with a Phase One back. These were marketing decisions which bode poorly for the future of Hasselblad's openess.

In case I wasn't clear I am fully behind the technical advantages of increased integration (I am a Mac user after all and I love the Phase One body/lenses!). My comment was to say that locking OTHERS out of your system is a marketing decision. Phase has heavily increased their integration in conjunction with Mamiya but we are leaving the system completely open. Any manufacturer can make a back for our Phase One body.There are tremendous benifits of having a system that is completely integrated and Hasselblads competitors are following suite with their first generation DSLR cameras.

This is a technical decision rather then a marketing decision. Hasselblad designed their first digital HCD lens to cover the image circle of a 22/39/50mp sensor, the 28mm was announced at Photokina 2006 Hasselblad at the same time we announced our 3rd generation H3D platform 2 years ago.
