Partly correct:
"The H1 camera used Fujinon manufactured lenses and prisms, thus departing from Hasselblad's long association with Carl Zeiss when it comes to lens manufacturing. The shutter in the lenses was still manufactured by Hasselblad as well as the body"

Speaks well of Fuji.


i do beg to disagree. the digital h series is outsourced by hasselblad to fuji, along with the lenses. both are then rebranded "hasselblad" upon delivery to sweden. fujifilm makes the exact same camera with their name for sale in the japanese market. we, who are cynical and own hasselblad v bodies, refer to the H series as "fujiblad".

Only stating what I have read.
One was a quote by a Hassleblad rep.
Several sources say the H1 body and shutters are made by Hasselblad and the lenses and viewfinders by Fuji.
Both are great companies with a great reputation, though Hasselblad has a special marque, like Leica.
Have you played with a Fujiroid?
Just curious if you can detect a quality difference.
Haven't used a 'blad myself since about '2000, when we surplused ours.

Fujiblad
Fujiroid...
What else are they going to make?

oddly enough, i did get to play with 2 of the fuji/hasselblad iterations. the fuji tx-1 is the hasselblad x-pan. the fuji variant used a titanium body cladding which held up much better than did the hasselblad.

the fuji variant of the h1 body was the gx645, again, body cladding is titanium and altogether the exact same camera as the HD1 and succeeding variants. got to play with one of those and had a great time with it.

and of course the fuji interchangeable lens rangefinders. nobody's copy, and a great camera series.
