The first Hasselblad HV superkit sells for $9,999 on [shoplink 26422 ebay]eBay US (Click here)[/shoplink]. Actually, it’s well priced because the original price was set even higher at $11,500! The special “High Performance Case” package includes two batteries and the 24-70mm f/2.8 Zeiss. As you already know the specs are the same of the Sony A99. You can see many more images of the Hasselblad that’s for sale on the [shoplink 26422 ebay]eBay auction page (Click here)[/shoplink].
This is the third “luxurified” Sony camera version from Hasselblad after the [shoplink 22672 ebay]Hasselblad Lunar (on eBay here)[/shoplink] and the [shoplink 22673 ebay]Hasselblad Stellar (on eBay here)[/shoplink].
P:S.: I know the word “luxurified” doesn’t exist but I found it appropriate and easy to understand 🙂

they didn’t even rebrand the lens…it still says Sony
+1
To rebadge the lens, they would need to up the price with another $5000. Those millionaire Hasselblad craftsman would need 2 days to remove that logo with diamond sandpaper and repaint the exact splatter finish with caviar extract black paint and dodo hair brushes. Yeah, that’s gonna cost..
Considering the lens you get with it, this rebadged A99 looks cheap next to the Lunar.
Admin, your twitter duplicates messages about new posts here on SAR, both SAR Post and twitterfeed are involved. I assume they are separate WordPress modules on their own.
Is this how SAR twitter is intended to work?
Nope.
There must be an error with a plugin! Thanks for emntioning it. Will try to solve this now
OK solved! An old plugin which didn’t work was updated and worked again (Wordtwit). Now deactivated twitterfeed and all will ok form now on. Thanks again!
So it,s $2,298 for the camera, $1,898 for the lens and $5,803 for the bag !
I can’t even put in words how stupid this is and how much of a joke Hasselblad makes of themselves. I can buy a pelicase, a a99, a ZA 24-70, a G 70-200 II, a bunch of batteries and a a7 + Adapter as a backup for the same money. On top of that people don’t consider me a fool, it looks better and I have something that actually deserves the name “super kit”.
how about the all ART line, the two 0.95 lenses, A99, A7, etc..
the one can buy this, should rather donate the money to charity 🙂 no point to buy expensive like this, especially this gadget so yesterday, “today its released, tomorrow is past tense”
What a disgrace of Humanity.
10000$ ahahaha THIEVES 🙂 Crazy! RIDICULOUS
The lens still reads Sony…
Hasselblad quality is worth every cent. The reason why the original Sony products are much cheaper is because you only get Sony quality. There are so many reports of A99, NEX-7 and RX100 cameras falling apart almost right out of the box. A Hasselblad HV, Lunar or Stellar will last a life time, and become a cherished family heirloom. Why don’t you order youself a Hasselblad premium camera? You deserve the best.
The sweet smell of Irony 😀 right?
I’m sorry, but this is a realllllly dumb comment. If you like carrying a name, and paying an extra $8000 for it, I’m not going to criticize you. But if you back it up with THIS argument, someone needs to school you a little.
I put 1.9 MILLION exposures on the Sony a33. It got soaked, dropped, and treated like crap for two years and finally got a sticking shutter at 1.9 MILLION exposures…I still use it for video. Good luck putting that many clicks on a Canikon with a moving mirror.
I’ve shot the hell out of my a57, NEX-C3, an a65, a99 and for the last 6 months an RX10. I only ever had one issue with one camera and it certainly didn’t happen “right out of the box.”
Sony’s are built well. And for the price of the Hassy, you can have a new camera every two years and always have the most up to date technology. If you buy the expensive nameplate, you get 3 year old specs, and you’re stuck with ’em for a LONG time, because no one is going to buy it used.
If you WANT one…fine. That’s your business, if you’re going to justify the economics of it, you’re an idiot.
This is true. My daddy, my grand-daddy, his daddy before him, his grand-daddy before him and so on owned a Hasselblad. 12 generations of northern European roots aim towards the Swedish town where the our family’s Hassy came from. We still got the papyrus receipt with the candle wax ring-seal proof of “Guaranteed to Operate for Generations” scripture. We’ve only had to take it back to Sweden in 1795, 1839, 1888 and 1945 (when my daddy protected himself from a bullet with it in 1943 but was too skint to pay for the postage at the time)
It’s been working mint since then!
What? Links please. Never heard of any A99s falling apart.
hmm… mean hasselblad users always dropped their camera frequently… if not, they can buy few units of exactly same model can be found in Sony. But is true, Sony camera even thought are water proof, weather proof, but it is not drop proof.
IQ Test initializing
This is a joke. The camera has not “sold” for any price, it’s simply listed at that ridiculous price to generate traffic and publicity. So if I post a Nex6 for $20 million can I get free publicity too?
Uhm, that’s it’s normal price, discounted even. You being a tool an advertising your NEX-6 for 20m is not really the same thing. Though this price is still silly.
That’s a mighty expensive bag…
LoL–I had the same idea.
And its even a used one…..
From the previous announcement below regarding Amazon’s top 100, A77ii now at 43 from 34 yesterday and still dropping. It is now below every released camera in its class and every other class selling bodies only, that in just 4 days. Every sony Dslr shaped body (including A3000) in production is now beating the A77ii in its 4 days of release. Wow, no one is buying this thing.
Yeah because there has been a lot of advertising, so it’s obviously a failure. Dummy.
I’m more surprised that a Sony camera that HASN’T been advertised or released is doing so well!
In the last hour of your post the A77ii has dropped from 43 to 51 and still falling. Another 7 points in the rankings. I only bring it up because Admin posted that the A77ii was selling “ok” when it was in the top 20, but that was for literally 1 day. In 4 days it has dropped out of the top 50, so is it selling “ok” or miserably? No one is buying, minus us FanBoys and that’s done. Epic fail by Sony.
It isn’t surprising that on the announcement day Amazon rankings reflected the announcement and then interest tailed off. Not exactly rocket science is it!
I wonder what will happen after popular magazines and web sites review it. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, the rankings will reflect it again and then, oh I don’t know, maybe interest will tail off again…
You’re a genius for pointing out that interest slows after the initial announcements.
What a tard, Amazon does not track interest in the published top 100 that Admin provided. They track sales orders. Interest means nothing. We are all interested, the question is who is buying. Thus far, not many.
Yeah, its a piece of snit..
I just heard someone ask this question (genuinely confused) “Wait, what? I thought Sony’s mount was called E-mount. This says A-mount. What the he11 is A-mount? Are they really starting another mount?!”
DPR as of May 4 2014
LOL nice find.
You’re even talking to yourself now.
Interest means sales. Semantics fail.
Also, since the last post it is now down to 65 from 51, and before that it was at 43 and that is just today. Soon it won’t even show up at all. How you like them apples?
Of course, it’s better to get an A99 unless you are the head of an Abu Dhabi oil conglomerate and want to show how much you don’t care about prices of things, but still, I must say that the camera DOES look cool. It’s the best-looking one so far.
The Hassy stuff inspired Leica. I am so awestruck by that 45min polishing video of the Leica T to house a NEX-5N’s sensor.
Why did Hassy not think of that instead of releasing those stupid pencil sketches? Why???
The Summicron 23/2 is a masterpiece compared to the Sigma DN 30/2.8 even if both may be made by the same folks! A pity that I have to wait for that special Hermes edition. The current prices of the T system are ridiculously low. 🙂
What kind of Hassy is that? Well it is a Outgoing Sony A99 Hassy. Are people that stupid and dumb to pay for an overpriced Sony Product? Repackaged? Come on…if anyone buys this camera..they have tatted on their forehead for life…Dumb ass!
Wow. What value!!
I just bought 3 kits! I’ll use one to show off in my display case above my indoor waterfall (the waterfall on the 4th floor, next to the 259″ flat screen TV) and I’ll put the other two in storage. Hopefully they’ll turn to solid gold.
Seriously, who buys these anyways? Other than being auctioned at rich people’s parties, I don’t see who would buy one for their own personal use ….I’m serious lol

Moviestars, Singers, Other Rich Fools.
That’s seriously about it!
Places like the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Dubai, Qatar, Brunei and Macau are full of people with lots of money and extravagant spending habits.
Fools and money are easily parted..
They should’ve at least thrown in a 16-35Z and 50Z as well.
Funny that eBay ad has been up for a bit and has NO (ZERO) “Watchers”.
And the photo rollover doesn’t say anyone is viewing the ad at all.
What are they expecting from this?
I see they couldn’t even be bothered to scratch out the ‘Sony’ from the Lens barrel….
That’s just a toy for asian collectors on request of their former chinese owner, Hasselblad openly admits that (and they stopped doing that meanwhile). They released them only in counts of a few hundred, so it might be an expensive collectors item in some years really. Would appreciate to have one.
