    Long live technical cameras and digital view cameras!

    Except Hasselblad has never been a substantial force in this niche to begin with. It has been primarily Phase One for many years. The discontinuation of Schneider had a larger impact, leaving only Rodenstock, and this business for Rodenstock is a tiny portion of their overall. And yet, they...

    Long live technical cameras and digital view cameras!

    Often when I am driving and other drivers are exasperrating me, I'll sigh and exclaim to my wife, People.... please drive with a purpose! :mad: In a related mindset, I like to think that technical cameras don't really force me to slow down, they enable me to be more intentional in my...

    Long live technical cameras and digital view cameras!

    I think the idea that technical shift cameras are a declining category has merit for discussion (the whys and why nots). But conflating the importance of this segment to Hasselblad's interest as a referendum on the segment itself is not an entirely accurate assessment. As an example, it is much...

    Beware of Scammers!

    Ah, ok, thank you, didn't think so, it came across like a rejoinder to my post, such is the nature of the written word. Yes, you're right, our name is kind of utilized as a badge of credibility. I suppose it could be, to some degree, but it definitely doesn't guarantee anything. Other than at...

    Beware of Scammers!

    My statement is regarding purchasing directly from CI. Surely you're not holding CI accountable for a scammer who says they bought it from CI? Steve Hendrix/CI

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    Interesting - 90% of the movies I watch are international movies. I subscribe to channels like MUBI, etc. I've become so used to reading subtitles, I sometimes keep them on even when the language is english. Being able to see an international movie in a theater anywhere beside New York or...

    Here is a good comparative example of the Fine Focus Knob illustrating a 4x - 5x increase in precision. Video clip if you click the download link. And screenshots showing the amount of travel from the 25mm mark headed toward the 20mm mark with a quarter turn. Cambo Actus Fine Focus Travel...

    "I regularly read complaints about focusing; they had to release a very expensive fine focus knob to improve focus". That is incorrect, as I pointed out. The Fine Focus Gearing increases focus precision by a factor of 5x over the standard Actus and over the Arca Swiss, since both Arca Swiss and...

    Rob, the information you provided is incorrect. The Pico provides separate controls for tilt and swing from the front standard and vertical/horizontal shift from the rear standard. The Cambo Actus B Mini/G/DB all provide the exact same type of movements. The image you've posted above shows the...

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    Correct, this is effective as of May 1. There are some exceptions to the 7%, notably the D-Lux 8 (75% ... !!) and accessories (think batteries, chargers, etc.) which increase 90% (!!). Yes, those $200 batteries somehow became substantially more expensive. Notably, in the dealer communication...

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    Yes, interesting in the responses. Many manufacturers have so far chosen not to make any change with regard to pricing (excepting China-based sourcing). However, we did just receive updated pricing from Leica, which has an increase of around 7% across the board. Steve Hendrix/CI

    Tariff Communication from Capture Integration

    It does seem that China is the wild card for any products manufactured there. I would think things will pause for those products, because that is certainly the most volatile situation. One of my clients was keenly interested in purchasing the upcoming DJI Mavic 4 Drone from us and it was...

    Dealing with UPS and a warning about sending cameras to the USA

    This is correct. Responsibility for damaged packages by the shipping carrier is on the shipper. So I agree, you should be interacting with Hasselblad for resolution, and they should be interacting with UPS. And as Todd has also referenced, these situations with shipping carriers can be a huge...

    Tariff Communication from Capture Integration

    Paul - Hasselblad has communicated to us that - for now - aside from the 45P and 75P lenses, all other items will stay at the current price point for sale in the USA. Steve Hendrix/CI

    Tariffs and the future of MFD

    Unfortunately, This would certainly be a desirable product for a very niche segment of the industry and produce some revenue for Phase One, but unfortunately there are flaws in the logic that it would be a successful product if the intent of the product is to produce profitability. I...
