Another shake-up at Hasselblad after the rumors that the company was acquired by DJI - Paul Bram was appointed as a new interim CEO, which means that this was not really a planned move and a new permanent CEO is yet to be announced.
Maybe the reason for the new CEO is that the Hasselblad X1D is still nowhere to be found after multiple delays.
Press release:
Dennis Olbrich, president of Kodak Alaris, said that bringing back the Kodak Kodachrome film is "unlikely":
In a recent interview with dpreview, Fuji representative mentioned that a Fuji GFX based digital rangefinder is a possibility (see the already discontinued Fuji GF670 film medium format rangefinder):
Could these same benefits be applied to medium format, we asked. ‘Of course it could be an idea for medium format,’ says Oishi: ‘it depends on demand and the market. The GFX 50S is one style: the ‘S’ means 'SLR-style.' Another way to do it would be a rangefinder style camera. Maybe an ‘R’ could be a rangefinder: we’re always considering other options and possibilities.’
‘If mirrorless interchangeable lens camera is too big as a rangefinder style, a fixed lens camera could be smaller, like the GF670.’
Both the new Leica M10 and the Fuji GFX cameras that were announced last week were priced the same ($6,595 for the Leica M10 and $6,499 for the Fuji GFX 50S). If you were given the choice to get one of those cameras for free, which one would you choose? Here is a poll:
