Hasselblad Digital back for the V series ( 500 Series) cameras.... 39MP, 48x36mm ( Approx) Sensor, said to run around $15,000 or so.... Accepts all the classic Hasselblad lenses, which certainly are NOT shabby..... And best of all.. Used Hasselblad bodies and lenses go for a song ( or you already own them) ......making the complete outfit "cheap". This is a very good marketing strategy for Hasselblad. Leica content...... What I said,., there is no market for the S2 ( that will sustain Leica.) Give me a FF M9 and an R10 ( or whatever you want to call a Digi-SLR to accept utilize R mount lenses). Now you have a market..... Frank Filippone red735i at earthlink.net
