Smart phones are killing camera sales

Oh and about Phase One...

 

Not many people know these:

 

-Phase One dropped the support for film backs on their newest bodies.

-Phase One mount is the Mamiya 645 mount from decades ago but they can't even operate the aperture on older lenses (Same goes for Mamiya AF cameras, can't operate with their MF lenses unless stopped down)

-You want to use their latest IQ3 backs on older bodies? Better find a compatibility chart because you'll need one.

-You have a Phase One back for Hasselblad H body? You want to use that on the newest H6? Not going to happen (Thanks to Hasselblad)

-You want to use the newest Phase One AF lenses on older bodies? Are you sure that's going to work?

 

With Hasselblad it can even be worse. They have the HxD versions which work with their digital backs. They also have a HxX series (Like H4X and H5X) that work with film backs and third party backs. So you bought a H6D and want to shoot film or your old Phase One back? Nope. You need a H6X for that. Which does not exist. Or if you have an H5X and want the most recent 100MP back from H6D? Nope, Hasselblad doesn't sell the back on its own.

 

Update: Seems like they just released the H6X.
