This is true. Hopefully nobody put all the eggs in this basket with the known announcement-to-release-shipping cycle from Hassy.Not if you have connecting flight to catch or must be at a place at a certain time!

Unless you're connectingAs long as everyone gets their butt on the plane it doesn't matter if it leaves a little late I guess
I think those are in the same hangar the Boeing 737 Max are.Hey, it could be worse. You could be waiting for Leica’s S3...
This is how its been at least ever since the launch of the H6D and X1D back in 2016/2017 (although to be a fair a japanese earthquake affected the H6D-100c launch to a degree), and radio silence is generally how HB chooses to do business. I don't see it as something being a bit off, rather HB doing business as usual. They seem to only communicate at product launch and product shipment, and only ship things when they see them as fit to ship, regardless of any estimated availability. Heck even the dual charger and X remote were delayed by months, and those were just accessories. It gets old, especially for those of us that have been with the X system from the beginning, but you just have to hang in there and they follow through in the end. The mothership in Sweden chooses to hold their cards close to the chest for whatever reason.Generally pretty patient, but is it just me, or is something a bit off? We've got the announcements, the images, and not a sign of product. Or is this just internet impatience rearing its head?
Hassy is joined by Leica and Phase One as "small manufacturers taking a different route". But compare this with Alpa, for example, who are all over their public image. Would love to support Hassy, really intrigued by the new back and the 907, but gee.... not so reassured. And the silence doesn't help.
They are not the only one who perhaps saw the 64bit transition as a way to "encourage" new hardware purchases.still hurting over their sudden drop of support for their scanners and Flextight software to keep running on 64bit platforms.
I simply choose to absent myself from the "must have the latest thing announced RIGHT NOW!!" game. Nothing I buy has massive consequences for my photography or my life
This is true, but as with most things at announcement time, I just let it wash up on the beach and recede back into the ocean.And often the "latest thing" often has actually little impact on one's photography!
But here, upgrading from CVF-50c Mark I to Mark II ought to make things much easier for technical camera users. CVF-50c Mark II was announced around June with delivery hinted for late August (2019)!
Very curious to see the first reviews of reviewers and of end-users.Unless the recent exchange between my dealer and the Hasselblad rep was him lying through his teeth or just making something up to quiet my dealer friend, the first batch of 907 Special Edition cameras (and CFV 50c II backs) should be in the hands of Hasselblad USA now, and in the middle of being distributed to vendors.

Maybe VueScan software (no association) might work?
It's not a small company. It's a small division of a very large company. If they didn't want to support the old hardware, they could have given the protocols to Hamerick. It's just a crappy customer service and support. There's no need to make excuses for them.Hasselblad refuse to give Hamrick the protocols and it’s too much work to reverse engineer -if that’s even possible.
Hasselblad marketed and sold these scanners new right up to OS 10.15 was released - one of my scanners is only a few years old - so it’s unconscionable in my opinion for them to abandon users, especially new owners.
But I digress... my point is simply it’s a small company that’s quite obviously running on very little resources, despite new owners.
There's no need to make excuses for them.
