[HUG] Re: Per Nordlund is back...

Hi Per,

Welcome back to the list.
Besides technical stuff you are able to show some light on matters like current 
status of the V series.
I am glad to hear there is still production of this system.
My dealer informed me no production just large stocks that 
will be sold and then it is over.
He is obviously not well informed. That is a pity.

Kindest regards,
Richard

  Hello Joanne, 
  yes, the V system is certainly more limited now than it once was, agree. But 
"kill off the cash cow" sounded like we had stopped production or something. We 
haven't. 
  BTW, I hope your positive interpretation version is correct. 

  Best regards, 
  Per

  I think Frank is referring to the demise of the V-Series. 
  In looking at the history of Hasselblad lately, I have been struck by the 
shortening of product generations over time. For example, the SWA/SWC and 
V-system family lasted 50 years, the 2000/20x 30 years, and the H-series has 
gone through 6 generations in only 5. The diversity of products has also 
diminished. You could interpret this negatively, as a business in the process 
of exiting a market, or positively, as a business re-focusing on its core 
strengths. It is certainly not an unusual pattern in technology-driven markets, 
and maps quite well to the history of computers.

  Dear Uncle Dick, 
  sorry for that missing half of a moose. Would half of a cash cow do instead? 
We seem to have killed one off. 

  (Sorry, all. I'll have learn to stick to the technical stuff.) 

  Frank, I haven't been able to follow that long thread about the killing of 
cash cows. What are you referring to?

  Dear Frank, 
   
              Please be nice to Per Nordlund. He treated me very well when I 
made a Hasselblad enquiry about wild animals in the Swedish countryside last 
year. He sent me an entire half of a moose. I am waiting this year for the 
other half and the assembly instructions. 
   
  Uncle Dick
