XCD 90V Lens - has anyone know what's going on?

[CYBURek]

This glass is like Yeti... No one has seen it but they are talking about it :-)
Do you know anything? ...this silence is unbearable.

The Hasselblad.com online store is showing "sold out" for the 90mmV, and B&H is showing

"New Item - Coming Soon
Expected availability: Aug 28, 2023".

In other words it is still vapourware....

I've had the 55V and 90V on backorder with B&H for over a month. I gave up and ordered the 55V directly from Hasselblad yesterday (after verifying with them it was in stock and available to ship) and I have the 80mm f/1.9 arriving tomorrow from B&H. I really wanted the new 90V but I can't wait till the end of year.

And you will love the 1.9/80!!

And you will love the 1.9/80!!

I have both, enjoy and use much more the XCD 90 3.2
It's lighter, and AF is faster
Images are top notch

In my bag The XCD80 contender is the TT-Artisan 90 1.25 in hasselblad mount
Both are heavy and chunky
the XC80 for crisp images
the TT-Artisan for more dreamy images

B&H is now showing:

"New Item - Coming Soon
Expected availability: November 27, 2023".

The Hasselblad online store is showing "SOLD OUT".  But how can you be sold out of something you have never sold??

B&H has updated their site to Dec 2 and not 2023 but 2024. Either a mistake on their site or that lens can not be manufactured

Now it says Dec 1, 2023.

you can get a sale alert on the site, this basiccaly gives you an email when the damn thing is actually in stock.   ( December 3024)

Finally the 90mm f/2.5v was available this morning from hasselblad.com online store and I ordered it They went out of stock within I think a couple of hours. And now shows the familiar sold out again

[SrMi]

It is available now.

I was in my local dealer this afternoon picking up my M10-D, and he indicated that they had the 90V on order.  Still not sure whether to re-purchase the 80/1.9 or save weight (and money) and get the 90V.

So far, I've been impressed with the comparision images ...

If you do not need the focal length immediately, I would wait for the new 90 as it should ship soon (haha)! I did own the 80 and it is just wonderful but so is the old 90. If you do not need the aperture, get a used 90 mk1 first and wait for the new 90 to come out.
