Not only Pentax was sold, so is Hasselblad:

Interesting... I didn't know that Hasselblad was owned by a company rooted in Hong-Kong. The previous owner was a service company which deals with bringing imaging products (from Hasselblad, Zeiss, Cokin etc.) to various markets... Frankly, I think it's from one pocket (Asia) to another (Europa), but the new europanian company seems to be focused more on "capital" side of the business. I hope they won't let the brand die...
