On The Time magazine showcases Top 10 photos of 2012 news story (147 comments in total)
In reply to:

Cy Cheze: OK, so what would the anti-Time critics pick a the 10 best news photos of the year? Very likely, the images would be other views of disaster, mayhem, rescues, or mourning. When your neighbor is berieved, do you pick a shot of a touchdown pass as "the most memoriable image of 2012"? Or should that image be a sonogram of an expected Royal heir? Images of flags, steeples, and mother? A dwarves' cottage and Bambi by a silver stream?

Good things happened in 2012, surely, but do they allow for imaginative photographic depiction? Will any rank as "important events" after 10 years?

Heavens, think of the temerity if Time ventured to pick a "Camera of the Year"? Oh, the carnage that would ensue!

Its not claimed to be "The 10 best news photos of the year "
its claimed to be "top 10 photos of the year" and they clearly are not that .....

On Hasselblad responds to Lunar criticisms news story (618 comments in total)
In reply to:

zavart: I have read some of the comments regarding new Hasselblad and I must say I am totally amazed by how emotional they are! I MYSELF like the look of the new camera hassy has designed ! Yes, it's very futuristic ...and that's what I like about it. I suppose if somebody had shown the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador to the people living in the nineteen twenties he would have been met by similar reception ! i.e. what an ugly contraption ! The beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder ! But sometimes fashion trends and the passage of time also changes our perception of what we regard as beautiful ( In Rubens times present day fashion models would be regarded as downright ugly ). In the end of the day we fortunately CAN CHOOSE of what we like and what we buy ! Vive la difference !!!

The Lunar IS a sony NEX in a different "Dress" its got no Hassleblad components (Or Designs) other than the (Very Ugly)Outer caseing
Which is why people think its a CON ....

scrane: Hasselblad is now finished, isn't it? Almost overnight the brand has a nasty odor.

Who cares if Hassleblad go under FUJI can still sell the medium format cameras under their own name .......

In reply to:

Valiant Thor: After the camera is complete, the greatest part will be watching his video of how he did it. Your eyes will tear up and you'll need a full box of Kleenex on hand as he describes the process with such emotion that you'd think he just cured cancer.

As A camera maker Hassleblad is long dead IT now only puts its name on other peoples products

In reply to:

raincoat: Like Leica and Panasonic, the next Hass will just be an overpriced Sony.
Way to go cheapening your brand image.

Now at least Sony can claim their flash mount and MS card is used by more than one company and is an 'international standard'.

Yes Leica sticks the red dot on Panasonic compacts ..BUT Leica also makes top notch cameras (Niche) and fantastic (Expensive ) Lenses
Hassleblad just re-badge Fuji 645 cameras and stick Fuji lenses on them I believe the Back is an IMACON (made /Assembled in Denmark
