Just a curiosity note: Hasselblad has just announced the new X1dII featuring the well-known Sony 50MP medium format sensor. What’s interesting is that the camera costs $5,750 “only” at BHphoto.

It’s the cheapest medium format camera Hasselblad has ever announced. Although it ain’t as cheap as the $3999 Fuji GFX50r which features the same sensor.

What I really like from this camera is the big 3.6 inch LCD screens. Would love to have that one on a Sony…but than the camera would have to be bigger too!

Of the thousand of voters only 50+ seem to considering to buy this new GM lens:

And I believe only a small percentage of them will at the end buy this lens. This is a niche lens and also a statement from Sony that they wanna play a role at the Olympics in Tokyo. Something they could soon reinforce with the launch of the rumored A9 successor!

Here are some images from the press event:
