Hi Carlos, I said that I believed it contributed to it. How significant, I am guessing. Given the number of Hasselblads sold and that, at least for me and I'd guess many others, the alternative, if no Hasselblad existed, would be the Rollei. I have to believe it's reasonably significant, at least in terms of sales numbers/revenue of the high end TLRs.
