I don't think Quentin said anything like this.Who cares? Hassy's not stupid. They know the average photographer knows exactly what it and the Lunar, etc., are. They and Sony aren't after that crowd.
They want folks who, as Quentin described, care far more for style, name recognition and having something different vs. the rest of their like-minded circle of friends vs. value and actually taking pictures. They could care less what sits inside the premium materials exterior - they're only going to take web-sized Instagram-esque jpegs anyway. Maybe 1/10 of 1% of these bodies will ever be set to RAW capture or have images see the inside of CS_.
Hi PeterThe ones buying this camera will most probably not even look for another lens
But Victor likes this abomination?my god...what a shame...
If Victor could see the present "image" and the products of the Hasselblad...
Its no more about photo cameras and tools, its PhotoJewels cameras...so so sad...
Clearly if I had money to burn, this will be on my list, it does look good, but because I don't the Sony brand cameras will have to suffice ;pTo be clear, I'm not buying it
But I can imagine many who will. Probably not forum regulars, but it's not targeted at us or other serious photographers. It belongs on the back seat of a Bugatti, or stuffed in a Versace bag.
Victor would think "Is the gold plate really necessary? But at least it's still an actual Hasselblad 500 C camera, my creation, as good and as functional as any other".But Victor likes this abomination?

Ditto - it's still a real Leica camera, so he'd think....well copy and paste what I said about Victor and replace Kowa Six with, I dunno, something like Yashica J.And what would Oscar Barnack think of this abomination?
