I think this year a real viable used back for a now so called Hassy "V" for
Victor system body will get down to a manageable amount of money as in
between the price of a D700 and a D3x or s.

And obtain gorgeous results way above mortal 24x36 format.
With real Zeiss glass. Square format maybe.

The Swedish cube will rise again.

By the way that's what the guy was using in the movie that just came out a
few months ago about the editor of Vogue. Anna Wintour.  'The September
Issue' 
An old fashioned Swedish Hasselblad.
