Hasselblad. A shadow of its former self?

Postby Matt. K on Tue Jan 14, 2014 11:07 pm

So sad to see what was once the worlds premier camera get turned into a laughing stock by some dim witted CEO who decided to go down this track. Should be a lesson here for all camera manufacturers....form follows function...always!

At least it gives a good indication how much their "real" cameras are overpriced.
