I don't know why everybody's complaining about the price, if you want to use one, rent it... All you need is the right equipment insurance and a credit card. These cameras/lens combos have defined what the perfect digital image should look like. Hasselblads absolutely suck @$$ to buy though, and have proven themselves to be a horrible investment... They have changed their technology so much and so fast that at such a high price point, it would be very difficult for all but the world's top photographers to get their ROI
@SewerShark Why? I'm a Steadicam operator, and each one of the cameras I'm tasked with are pushing 6 figures each, not to include a lens... I have no purpose for owning one, but I get to use rentals all the time. I shoot something every day with a little (somewhat) inexpensive camera I own, and that's just fine until I need to generate an income. Just not sure why one needs to own it.

@seefx Maybe because most people here would like to have one, not just the privilege to use it.
