That H6 can shoot film though. But still I like the V series better. The H series look ugly.
This is the top view of the Ferrari Hassy, Bebu … not so ugly, now - is it?

Maybe, this one suits your tastes, better, Bebu … ???
It's even worse. Very tasteless. Besides they are both cropped sensor cameras any way although not by much.
What a Hassel...blad. I'm way to old to offer my firstborn.

Tasteless, huh, Bebu?
What makes it tasteless, in your estimation, Bebu?

Putting a Ferrari paint scheme and logo on a camera is tasteless. Now most of the Ferrari were designed in good taste though. When they came out with the H1, I don't care for the Blad any more. The H series is so ugly.

Serious question:
What type of photography is that camera used for?
I know nothing about high-end equipment and I’m curious to know who would use it.
I know the name “Hasselblad” but since any of their equipment is out of my range, all I know is the name.
A Hasselblad is usually used just like any other camera except there is a leaning towards fashion, studio, corporate annuals, and upper end portraits. A lot of people like to use it for architecture and travel too. Most of the professionals that are using a Hasselblad are earning more than $250K. That means a Hasselblad is only small percent of your yearly gross income. Not much expense for them. I believe the national average for income is about $54K. What percentage is $47K of that? That is why not everyone is willing to buy a Hasselblad.
A Hasselblad, Pentax, and the few other MFs are the best imaging cameras for the money. But without the business plan to support its purchase, one has to be making a lot of money to buy such an expensive "toy".

If one earns 250K pa and one allocates $48,000 for one of these things, you're using up one fifth of your yearly income. So, I suspect, you'd need to be making a whole lot more than that, WD ….
On the other hand, if your "average" yearly income is correct, and you are one who earns that, and you were to go out and purchase one of these things, you'd be left $6000 to live on for the rest of the year. But, not to worry, as someone close to you, will, undoubtedly - commit you to an insane asylum - where you'll be fed, and clothed - with a nice cozy straitjacket!!!!
I have already spoken to Kolari Vision about converting mine to 720nm Infrared. As soon as it comes in, I will charge the battery, shoot a few test shots and send it in for the conversion.

Need to see some test shots, and have to add a second story to the doghouse before I tick the Queen off. If I was really smart, I'd buy a titanium nut protector too.
