I am sure that Hasselblad, Leaf, Mamiya, Phase One are all welcome to share information about their new products aswell as long as it's not an outright advertisement.
And this was information, which is useful for those who want it, and can be ignored by those who don't want it.
In the end, for me personally, i'd rather have representatives of the different manifacturers and resellers to communicate directly here on the forum about this than never hearing anything and just being frustrated. At least this time we can PM bomb them
