I just purchased a mint 903 SWC and it does not have a body status indicator, unlike others I have seen. Mine is a 1993 version. Did Hasselblad drop the status indicator around this time?

I need to use a PW on the Camera when I shoot portraits. I know the Back of the camera and on the bottom the little door opens to use Flash sync cord.
Can I use the PW without using the PC flash cord?  TY

I use Hoya protect. Very good quality . I've not seen any reviews of Hasselblad filters - didn't know they made them 😂😂

Quote from: Georg Kovalcik on Today at 02:57:21 AMWell, what I said almost one year ago (https://www.hasselbladdigitalforum.com/index.php/topic,8710.15.html ) is still valid:
"B&H lists it as "No Longer Available" and some internet rumor sites say it´s discontinued.
But there is no statement from Hasselblad stating this and it´s still on their website:
https://www.hasselblad.com/x-system/lenses/xcd-4-21mm/
Here in Europe dealers say it´s on back order with some stating a delivery in 3-4 weeks."

As of today it´s still here:
https://www.hasselblad.com/x-system/lenses/xcd-4-21mm/

It is in the Hasselblad catalogue from January this year (page 32):
https://cdn.hasselblad.com/manuals/Hasselblad_Brochure/2.0.0/Hasselblad_Brochure_EN.pdf

There are still dealers offering it with a delivery time of 3-4 weeks, eg. here:
https://shop.kuecher.com/hasselblad-xcd-21mm-f-4-objektiv

So yes, it is a low volume item with a long delivery time, but "discontinued" it is not.

If you go to the Hasselblad.com site. It is still listed as an item. But if you then go to the store portion it is not listed for sale there

Yes, I said earlier post #5

Quote from: pgh on May 06, 2024, 01:25:18 PM"The X-series is being attacked from two directions - Fuji 100MP medium format and 61MP 35mm full-frame. If Hasselblad doesn't act in the next 6-9 months, the only X shooters left will be us diehards on this forum."

Neither of these options is really any more compelling than they were when the x2d came out.

I can only state my specific use case, but I recently got an x2d after using a 907 kit for a few years. I really contemplated a used x1d2, but I wanted to get off the tripod more so the ibis was a selling point.
The main drawback is that I can't use my release cord - I truly hate using my phone during my photography. But again, this is for off the tripod. The 100 mp is nice, but 50 is plenty. I print fairly large fairly often. The added detail is cool but honestly makes no difference in the real quality of my work which is about seeing the world not reproducing it in the finest detail.

I work with m10 monochromes for a lot of my other work - which print with detail like a 60 mp sensor or better - and really have never felt a great need for over 40 mp. The hassies are nicer for their color and the range and the user experience. Fuji only can touch one of those. I'd even prefer my beater old m10 over the fujis because even it's 24 mp files print great under most conditions - even there my complaint is more about the range than the resolution. Still a great camera tho. 

Just like I am not at all interested in an m11 mono or m12 or whatever the x2d seems mature enough to me that whatever future versions come out probably won't be too compelling for me. The 500 c/m was damn good for a damn long while and this seems the digital equivalent in some ways - at least for those of us who just want a good recording device that makes itself disappear. I'm old school but a camera is still basically just exposure and focus and light sensitive substrate to me. Ibis is the only new thing I find really useful. 

Exactly the point
50 mp is over the roof and remote cord is essential for shooting on a tripod

I've been shooting for 15 years on a tripod and never used a cable release. Maybe it's not that essential.

I would like to find the 10 degree and 20 degree correction slides for the Flexbody. The part numbers are 72413 and 72415, respectively.
Thanks
Wayne
