No , I have different information .
It will be a 6x6 HOLGA + CFV-39 . Thats my dream combination .:z04_5769:
But I still would prefer the ALPA 12 SWA + CFV-39 .:z04_dm-walk:

But I still would prefer a modified X-pan for the 39Mpix sensor.
A gear to kill M9 and S2 in one shot !

Trust me, I've shot with the S2 ... don't count on a XPan Digital "killing" the S2 even if a Xpan digital came to be a real product ... which will be the same day they open an Ice Cream Parlor in Hades.
The Leica M9 is also a phenomenal camera. Sometimes "size" does count in a reverse manner ... because: 1) it's a camera you are likely to take with ... compared to a big one that you may not ... 2) it is a camera that actually exists (I shoot with one).
Horses for courses : -)

V series AF
About twenty years ago engineers at Carl Zeiss made a series of prototype AF lenses for the V series.
Hasselblad management in those days decided the world was not yet ready for this.
Zeiss designers used a heavily modified 2000FCW body to mount the lenses.
Some early TCC lenses show a double row of databus contacts to make AF possible.
A pity this was not to be.

Many people move up from 35mm to Mf and start using fast films, but to get the best out of MF film you need fine grain film.
The H4D-60 will not get blown out of the water by LF, even if you do not use apo-digitars and a stitching back.
I am thinking of going back to the square, using hex-stitch on a Sinar P3 with a H4D-60... 9* 9 cm, giving about 250Mpx!!!

Yes, but ...
I am deeply impressed by the image quality of digital Hasselblads. I gave up my film Hasselblads and turned the proceeds into a Canon 5D MkII and several Canon L-series lenses. The results I get are technically far better than I could get from my film Hasselblads (with lenses from the CF 40 to the CF 180). It has been a revelation as I was very sceptical about the almost universal move to digital. Naturally, if my lottery ticket is a winner I shall probably be heading to my nearest Hasselblad dealer, but realistically I do not regret the exchange I made, which was not a downgrade at all.
