Ming Thein  © Hasselblad

Well that sounds unusual: Hassleblad appointed Ming Thein as new Chief of Strategy. It’s unusual because usually we see “pure” business manager or engineers in that position and not a real skilled and well-known photographer like Ming Thein (althaugh he has some important business experience too). It will be interesting to see if Ming Thein can lead back Hasselblad to past glorious. I think he certainly has the talent to do so. But it will be a difficult work now that Fuji is competing in that segment too.

It would be my dream if Hasselblad and Sony could work together on a 55x41mm large mirrorless medium format system camera. Let’s see if Ming Thein will take note of my wish :)

Over a week ago Imaging Resources interview with Sony created quite a buzz on the web because there was a possible interpretation leading to assume that Sony would not sell their best sensors to other manufacturers. IR now reposted the interview with that important remark:

Tanaka-san was saying that there would be some developments that were co-developed by Sony’s camera division, and that those would of course remain proprietary. It’s important to note that this isn’t in any way a matter of holding back “higher-quality” sensors to disadvantage competitors. If Sony were to somehow dial back specs in the sensors they offer competing camera manufacturers, other sensor makers would rapidly step in to fill that gap.
Instead, Sony’s advantage is that their camera engineers can collaborate directly with their sensor-engineering team, to jointly develop new system architectures that fully leverage their exceptional integration technology.
