It would be great if Hasselblad would bring out a similar body.

MF resolution when you need it and a more portable system for travelling. At least that seems what CEO Perry Oosting promised us (between the lines).

Hope we don't have to wait years before we get it. :(

FWIW, via stacked adapters you should also be able to use your Hasselblad H lenses on the Leica SL...

I wonder if anything will still work (autofocus, aperture, ...) if you stack 2 adapters or we are fully manual.

Hmmm.  The SL Zooms are surprisingly good, so this would only be of specialised use (Tilt & Shift, macro, fast aperture lenses).  If manual focus is enough, the M or R lenses have the advantage of compactness.    Also, the 2nd hand market in S lenses seems v thin.

It unfortunately has been confirmed that stacking is not possible...
