	Victor Hasselblad at AllExperts
		Victor Hasselblad (March 8, 1906 â" August 5, 1978) was a Swedish inventor and photographer.
		Born in Gothenburg, Sweden, Hasselblad's career started in 1940, when a German reconnaissance plane was shot down over Sweden and Hasselblad was approached by Swedish Air Force officers with a request to construct a camera that rivalled the one found in the German plane.
		In 1941 the company Victor Hasselblad AB was founded, and was commissioned to produce cameras for the Swedish Air Force.

	THE VICTOR HASSELBLAD CENTENARY - MARCH 8, 2006
		Victor Hasselblad was a sociable man, and his intensive travels allowed him to build up an international network of contacts.
		Victor often reminded his employees that his dream was to produce a camera for civilian use, with maximum flexibility, interchangeable components, and small enough to be hand-held.
		Although the Hasselblads' childlessness was a deep source of private grief, Victor Hasselblad left an enormous legacy to posterity, including the camera he invented and the Foundation to which the Hasselblads left their sizeable fortune.

	The Hasselblad 500 Camera
		Victor Hasselblad, great-grandson of the founder, continued the company's association with Kodak and the family friendship with Eastman.
		By the end of the war Hasselblad had manufactured 342 cameras for the military and was also producing watch and clock works, but the company's attention turned to the mass consumer market for the hand-held camera.
		Hasselblad eventually introduced a brighter Minolta-made Acute-Matte fresnel focusing screen and the 500 line, with a succession of new variants (through-the-lens metering was included on the 503CX), became the industry standard for commercial and portrait photographers throughout the world, as well as well-heeled creative photographers.

		Victor was a very keen photographer and eventually left the family firm to set up his own company, ‘Victor Foto’, and gained a high regard from many for his photographic expertise.

	Centenario de Victor Hasselblad
		De la interesante conferencia de Christian Poulsen, CEO o director de Hasselblad, se pudo deducir una gran cantidad de información, especialmente respecto a la filosofía actual de la empresa, pero también respecto a la importante evolución técnica que se espera para los productos actuales y futuros de la firma.
		Los responsables de Hasselblad parecen ser conscientes de que un buen fotógrafo profesional necesita de las soluciones propias de los desplazamientos, giros y basculamientos que caracterizan a las cámaras técnicas o "de gran formato".
		Aunque Hasselblad ofrece actualmente soluciones limitadas con sus "Arc-Body" y "Flex-Body", con movimientos potenciados por el menor tamaño del captador (a igualdad del círculo de cobertura de los objetivos, parece casi seguro que la firma sueca presentará una nueva y avanzada solución para la próxima Photokina de este otoño.

	Hasselblad H3D Concerns
		For Hasselblad to now close the door on interoperability is a slap not only at camera buyers, but also dealers, and the industry as a whole.
		All that Hasselblad has done is create a marketing slogan – one that I fear will cause considerable confusion in the marketplace and can only be seen as misleading hype.
		I’ve been an enthusiastic Hasselblad user for some 35 years, starting with a 500c through to today's H series, but I am not at all pleased with the current direction being taken by the company.
