I waited and waited.
I had a dealer keep an eye out for a demo or used back.
One appeared -- at a price I couldn't refuse.
Strangely, Hasselblad messed up, and sent me the wrong item.
They corrected this by sending me a new CFV back.

I was shooting with it yesterday and the sensor is lovely.
Really does capture 10 or so stops. In full sun, the histogram often
stays well within upper and lower limits.
