What’s going on with Hasselblad? Ming Thein left the company and no new X camera yet…

Since the acquisition from DJI Hasselblad seems to have slowed down on the “classic” camera development. Fuji now offers two G cameras awith a third camera coming in Spring 2019. But Hasselblad is still “stuck” with the X1D and there is yet no sign a new X camera is coming any time soon. Moreover Ming Thein has left the company too.

I wonder if all this is a sign that Hasselblad will more and more move into the drone business by mainly attaching their brand name on some DJI camera-lenses.

Merry Christmas!

50 years ago on Christmas Eve in 1968, Apollo 8 astronauts Frank Borman, James Lovell, and William Anders orbited the moon and were the first to see this incredible sight.  This view of the earth rising above the lunar horizon was a new perspective for the astronauts and everyone on earth.

Take care of the things that matter in live. Merry Christmas!

First image samples shot with the Fujinon GF100-200mm F5.6 R LM OIS WR

Fujirumors shared these first image samples that were posted online for a short period by PCH shop. PCH wrote on the article that has now been removed:

Our first impressions are more than good! This lens is relatively light, handy and the optical quality after our first tests is at the rendezvous. In addition the GF100-200mm is stabilized which is very valuable when we have the tremblotte like me

The Fujinon GF100-200mm F5.6 LM OIS WR should arrive in the course of the first quarter of 2019 if our information is correct
