Do not be concerned with comparing Hasselblad lens with Pentax as long as we talk about digital Hassie HD. Hasselblad never made a lens in their history. The reputation (justified) of the Hasselblad V system was based on Carl Zeiss lenses (plus one Schneider). The stuff they sell with HD is ordinary mainstream mass production optics which can easily be over performed by Pentax lenses. I hope to know what I am talking about, I have: a 503 cx, 503cw, 553, and 953 and 9 prime Carl Zeiss lenses (Cfe, Cf, Cfi) a 6X7, a 67, a 645II and six lenses I love my Pentax, brought it to place were robbery would be commonplace, if somebody points a gun to me for a Pentax 67and a 55mm lens, I would be very, very sad but can buy another one, my zeiss 50mm cfi stays in the studio, if it went, I would be broke and not able buy another one, and when it comes to results, well tell me the difference! Coming to the nondescript lenses of Hasselblad HD they are just overpriced commonplace Cagatora Optics of Taipei. (fantasy name).
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
