It lists at $15K but people have gotten it as low as $12K-$13K through grey market. It's the same Sony CMOS sensor used in all the latest MF cameras and backs, Leica excepted. So it goes to the inexpensive Pentax 645Z for $8000 up to the $$$ Phase One at $30000+ (is that enough zeroes?) So the Hassy price is not too bad in that sense. Supposedly the latest Schneider and Rodenstock lens are way better than old non-digital lens, but I suspect the old classic Hasselblad Zeiss lens can make it up with their "characters."
