Word is that the new Hassy is made by Fuji.
You mean the actual body? Surely the "digital" bits are by Imacon?
They didn't so much desert Zeiss and desert themselves...
Lenses and film magazines are from Fuji. Body is assembled by
Hasselblad from parts made by Minolta (prism, metering system,
focusing screen) and other Asian suppliers. Assembly is being moved
from Sweden to Denmark (Imacon). There are so few employees left at
the Swedish facility that each one has the square meters of a very
large house!! I suspect it won't be too long before the Swedish
operation is shut down entirely. End of an era, for sure.
