I'm a big Hasselblad fan, but at that price point I'll spend a tad more and just get a used IQ3 100.Paving the way for a 9990€ CFV 100c ?
Glenn, your NASA drawings are awesome. The detail and perspective are amazing. I'm a big fan of NASA and the space program too and have a friend who photographed the shuttle launches. I forwarded the link to your drawings to him. They brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. And to my wife as well. Thanks for sharing this facet of your immense talent.

Joe, thank you for the very kind words, and taking time to look at the drawings - they were done when I was 13 to 17. They bring a lot of emotions to me every time I look at the originals, many of them were part of a NASA sponsored art exhibit that toured the country circa 1973-1975 or so. One was lost in that exhibit so that's why one is an odd old xerographic copy (the two astronauts at Surveyor) - which was one of my favorites.
So you can appreciate my attachment to the 907x Special Edition
Thank you and kind regards, Glenn
Glen, you were 13 - 17 years old when you drew those?
Even more impressive. I love them, I'm a big space nut.
You don't even want to know what I was doing between the ages of 13 - 17...

Ah, thanks. I misread that.The LCD on the X1D II 50C is 3.6" and 2.36M dots. The EVF has 3.69M dots.

A worthwhile diversion! Excellent sketches!...
Marginally related to "On the Moon since 1969" theme of the 907xSE, and way off this thread topic, some of you space buffs might appreciate my NASA drawings:

Apologies for the diversion, now back to our normal programming
Huh?A new 'blad makes all fans very glad.
But can beat one blad thats our friend Godfrey's blad.
It does feel a bit of a shame, and as if Hasselblad are missing a trick here - If you think that 99.9% of the V bodies, lenses, backs, and so on, sold over the past fifteen or twenty years have probably been secondhand and thus Hasseblad haven't made a penny on them other than if/when they get serviced. They could probably sell a large number of these backs to new/existing users of the V system who will never move to the X system. I'm sure they've done the figures though.
I remain completely perplexed as to the point of this post, other than perhaps you're just trying to say something indecipherable but snarky about me. Please explain yourself.A new 'blad makes all fans very glad.
But can beat one blad thats our friend Godfrey's blad.
It looks like you had an extensive experience of shooting with this camera, something we all would be very happy to read about but only if it is written with care and professionalism this forum deserves. I would also like to see imagery you took with this camera.A ridiculous, Un ergonomic and overpriced piece of Chinese garbage
