Ah but there\'s plenty of scope to reduce QE (or sensitivity in general, hence if I saw a sensor announced with ISO 12 or 25 I would be sceptical...

Not with the lenses currently available for MF, if you want shallower depth of field for portraits 35mm is better.
Matt if you shoot portraits at an aspect ration of 4 to 3 or squarer (such as 4 to 5 for an 8 X 10 or 16 X 20), then the crop factor for FF 35mm compared to this mini MF is 1.38X. So the Fuji 110 f/2 will be very similar in effective focal length and depth of field to an 80mm f/1.4 lens on 35mm FF. The FF 35mm will still have the slightest advantage, but it may well be within the rounding range of how aperture is reported, and sure there are a couple 85mm f/1.2 lenses for FF 35mm, but the Fuji 110 for portraits will be very very close in creating depth of field for portraits to what you can get on FF 35mm at least if you crop to most typical framing ratios for portraits.
Hi Steve,
Now with the announcement of the to be released Fujifilm camera, doyou intend to still go forward with your preorder of the new Hassselblad or are you now rethinking this purchase?
