The H1 and the X-pan. The rest of the range is probably soon history. I wouldn't be surprised the Hasselblad is soon just a brand name for some larger company like Contax is for Kyocera. I feel pretty sure that some companies wont survive intact the transition to digital. It is a far too bloody revolution to leave no causualities. Just like the electronic revolution killed several venerable companies. In particular I believe that small companies whose image is based on mechanical engineering 40-50 years ago are in the danger zone. I suspect Canon is a more valuable brand name for the younger generations than Hasselblad. Lets face it, old farts are dying out and hardly anyone younger than 40 connect Carl Zeiss with something particular whereas Canon L lenses are well known. It might be wrong though...

No you're probably right, for the most part.
