Heck, I've been trying for years to correct the fallacy that longer focal lengths change perspective. Especially egregious is when they say they like FF because an 85mm lens has a more flattering perspective and compression vs. a 55mm lens on APS-C. (If you believe that, you're wrong...perspective is solely a function of distance).
Yes yes yes yes and ... YES.
I thought I was fighting a solo battle in that regard.

Off topic, but am I the only one who thinks those lenses and most of the rest of Hasselblad's lenses are boring and chincy to look at... they remind me of old Quantaray lenses

I'm very close to the same position. Over one month (and counting) waiting for an estimate for repairing my most-used lens... why would any sane person put up with this? SL batteries cost an order of magnitude more than a7II batteries... why would any sane person put up with this? The SL is a fabulous camera that can produce beautiful, robust files but the cost in time and treasure for repair or parts or service is horrendous.

Following the live feed too. The size amazes me. Personally if I was considering the Leica SL, I'd really take a look at this X1D as an alternative, but with a much larger sensor. It's really exciting. This camera opens a whole new realm in my opinion.

You can have my SL
Hi Edward,
So since the lenses have leaf shutters, does the camera also offere a focal plane shutter? If not then unlesss I am mistaken then MF lenses that would cover the sensor size including what may be many Leica R lenses, then they would not be able to be used with this camera with an adapter. If that is the case, that is and would be a let down.
So, are you now considering getting this camera and getting rid of your SL?

Crap it sounds really good. I only watched the last few minutes but two well maybe more jumped right at me size and weight, leaf shutter and the biggy adapter for H lenses. I tested this sensor in a Leaf Credo back awhile back and folks it was really really good. It's all Sony for sure , great high ISO even 3200 was good. I'll find my review and post a link. But this sensor is really really nice. I may get in trouble here would still need a Sony A7rII on hand but I could make that a needed cam only with certain lenses like the GM 24-70 I have and maybe something else but if I can find a reasonable way to get back to MF than this certainly looks like it. Just need to see the spec sheets but damn Phase, Leaf , Leica and Pentax are shitting there pants. I know many MF shooters are going to go nuts over this and if you have H glass your already several steps ahead of the curve.

Yes it seems there is no focal plane shutter unfortunately.
But the lenses are really affordable, smallish, have AF, and having central shutters, they can be used at really low shutter speeds, and practically silent.
I think I found my ideal camera!
Not letting the SL go yet, but if it's as good as advertised, I think hasselblad hit a home run with this one.

I don't have $14,000 lying around and I don't want to sell most of my equipment to fund this. Also there won't be long enough lenses avaiilable for Wildlife. So a no go for me. Want to also see what Sony will come out with both in terms of their MF as well as the A9, and the A7rIII. At least with the Sony FF cameras I can still use my M mount and my Leica R lenses. Not sure of with the Sony MF when and if released.
