It's a small market. I hang out on two forum that use MFD but both are more
from the landscape / architecture crowd perspective rather than fashion
shooters. With those people, for a dSLR single piece gear, S2 is not a major
option as Hassy / Phase One- Mamiya are more well known and more flexible
(the other segment uses tech camera like the Alpa that Bob is buying).

Pentax is apparently selling all the 645D they can make, as is Leica with
their S2 so I suspect this Hassy will sell very well indeed. The market is
small with people changing gear all the time (unless you are on a budget,
but if you are, you probably are not in the game to begin with). I'm not
sure if the market is saturated yet so it could be growth for everybody.
