Looks like a nice bit of gear I already own a GFX 100s II and GFX 50s II .... I think I'd be in some serious trouble with my partner if I chucked 15 grand on this..LOL .... I do think it's an amazing camera. I've never used to hasselblad but from what I've read and seen on YouTube it looks pretty good bit of gear but it's very slow focusing and I do feel the GFX cameras are better all round cameras in fact the GFX. 100s II has great auto focus and very similar to a full frame camera maybe a touch slower but it's excellent
