I really don’t see your problem. I certainly don’t need to create FUD. Hasselblad is doing that perfectly fine by themself.
I care about products and new developments. Only because I am currently invested in Phase and Fuji does not mean I will be in two years from now. I was heavily invested in Canon, Nikon and Leica, I’m not anymore.
It’s nice you focused on lenses. Great for you. It’s also great you spend 5k on a very nice lens. However, your drawing the comparison with Fuji and here the Hasselblad looses again, for me. The Fuji 120 has IS, which for me is hugely beneficial and the 250 has it as well and combined with the Tele converter it’s has so much more reach.
Your are correct in one thing, for me a X1D-100 wouldn’t change anything as long as there is no Tele for the X line. However, it’s also the other way around.
I also don‘t see why you get Phase one in to the mix? We were talking about Hasselblad communication problem. However, you are correct that Phase one isn’t much better in communication.... which is sad.
I should be mystified why someone like you would conceivably care about Hasselblad's roadmap. You are totally invested in Phase One and now the Fuji GFX system, and you have already announced you are buying the GFX 100S just as soon as it is released. However, it seems you just want to create FUD. If you ask the people who actually own X1Ds, they are primarily focused on WHEN they can buy the newly released lenses for the X1D system (and a zoom), as Hasselblad is having a hard time meeting the demand for the newly released lenses. I am well aware that the X1D is "discontinued." To me, that's GOOD news. That means that something is coming fairly soon that I am confident will be an improvement over the X1D. I just took delivery of the $5k XCD 135mm lens with the dedicated tele-converter that converts the lens into a 240mm lens. It is a beautifully designed lens "system." It weighs less than one-half of the combination of the Fuji GFX 120mm and 250mm lenses. In the 2 years since Hasselblad released the X1D, they have released 8 new lenses plus a teleconverter for the X1D. For a small, boutique camera company, that's pretty impressive.
BTW, I don't really see Phase One issuing roadmaps. I don't recall any pre-announcement of the IQ4150. They announced it when it was "ready" for sale (albeit with crippled firmware). It seems that the approach of pre-announcing and strategically leaking future product information and issuing roadmaps is pretty much a Fuji thing.
