It used to be difficult when I lived in Göteborg. But now that they have
released the XPAN the tabo has been removed :-)

Actually the Hasselblad family a camera store, I also think they
were the Kodak distributors in Sweden, before Viktor designed the
cameras with his name. And until a few years ago there was a chain
of camera stores called Hasselblad Foto, they then changed the name
to Kodak Image Center. As far as I remember, which isn´t very far,
15-20 years Hasselblad Foto was owned by Kodak,  but the origin was
the old Hasselblad family company.
I have somewhere an old Hasselblad Foto cataloge from the ca 1950 with
alot of cool cameras in it. Its amazing how cheap high quality cameras are
these days.
