Adobe just released an update to Lightroom (version 2.4). One of the biggest upgrades that this patch includes is 3FR (Hasselblad RAW files) support for their various cameras.
Here is the list of what models are now supported by Lightroom:
Hasselblad CF-22
Hasselblad CF-22MS
Hasselblad CF-39
Hasselblad CF-39MS
Hasselblad CFH-22
Hasselblad CFH-39
Hasselblad CFV
Hasselblad 503CWD
Hasselblad H2D-22
Hasselblad H2D-39
Hasselblad H3D-22
Hasselblad H3D-31
Hasselblad H3D-39
Hasselblad H3DII-22
Hasselblad H3DII-31
Hasselblad H3DII-39
Hasselblad H3DII-39MS
Hasselblad H3DII-50
What this means is that Hasselblad users can now use Lightroom to process their 3FR RAW files. Before this patch, the 3FR files would have to get converted into DNGs or TIFFs in order for Lightroom to recognize them.
Please keep in mind that you will not have the luxury of being able to fix things lens distortion, moire, vignetting and APO correction as you would if you worked with the 3FR files in Phocus. With Phocus, just click one check box and whola... all corrected.

H3D vs. H3DII???
One of the questions that I get asked a lot is "what is the difference between the Hasselblad H3D and the H3DII." Let me demystify that for you.
One of the great strengths of the H-system of cameras is its continual development. This is one of the keys to retaining the system’s forefront position in the world of digital medium format photography. Normally, upgrades are to the firmware but with the H3DII, there is an even larger leap forward with the introduction of hardware improvements too.
Here are the most significant differences between versions:
User Interface: The buttons on the digital back have been re-arranged and the screen is now much larger. I think the new button locations are more intuitive and user friendly. The sensor-unit menu navigation is also more intuitive.
Little Features, Big Help: Little things like the illumination button also displays battery power, faster lens adjustments (especially while an image is still being written), button reassignments (for user customization), battery warnings on camera grip and sensor unit, better system info displays, improved audio feedback, more features saved in profiles, extra mirror-delay settings (for a steadier camera - thus sharper image) revised menu structure (more efficient).
There you have it... These features are more of an evolution than a revolution but they are really helpful and make things a lot easier for you to spend more time doing your job.
