HTS 1.5 Notification
29/09/2011 Hasselblad has elected to discontinue the sales of its       HTS 1.5 tilt and shift adapter in the US market.

Does this mean there will be a newer version ? I have been considering buying one of these for a while. Anyone know what reason is ?

Thanks Martin

I believe there is a temporary patent dispute which has forced Hasselblad to suspend sales.

I am glad I got one already. It has seen a decent amount of use over the last year.

Martin,

It is just until the patent dispute is settled.  It is still on sale in the rest of the world.

Thanks David.

I was worried I may have missed out from what I have seen its  a great add on. Its my next buy. Also I am looking forward to the next release of Phocus mobile. When it was released I was emailed by Hasselblad  that the single touch 100% focus was meant to be implemented but would be out on  the next release. That was Feb. Any idea when the next update will be ? 

Cheers Martin
