Today, the least likely reason for a high base ISO is high sensitivity, because QE is about maxed out already.
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?

Very good question Rich. I am looking at this Fuji camera closely, so we will see as I learn more about it. Right now the Fuji looks a bit big for my taste and I prefer the built in EVF to an add on one, but how well it functions is really most important. As usual Fuji has put together a strong set of lenses. I think the 23/45/63/110 would make a great set of lenses. That said, I think I would personally prefer the Hassy 90 to the Fuji 63. I like lenses that are a bit longer than normal. I think I would also prefer the leaf shutters with the Hassy system than the focal plane shutter of the Fuji system. A lot will depend on what the Fuji camera weighs. I am guessing about 900g but if it was substantially lighter that may sway me in that direction, and for me I am going to count weight with the EVF attached. I suspect one reason they made the EVF detachable was so that the weight looked lower. I already know I much prefer the form factor of the Hassy, but I will continue to give both of them a serious look.
Hi Steve,
I also wonder about the possiblity of the 100 MP sensor for each platform and whether both companies will offer such a camera. I think that someplace in this thread that Fuji had suggested such a camera in the future. Whether that were to come to pass and also whether Hasselblad might do the same. However if either or both do offer such a camera in the future, Making a decision based upon such a future camera would force someone to sit on the sidelines for sometime.
