Coming soon? Two Free Lenses with Hasselblad H5D-50c

The official Hasselblad email newsletter mentions a new promotion for the fourth quarter (Sept 1st until Dec 31, in 2015), if you purchase the Hasselblad H5D-50c medium format DSLR (regular or with Wifi), you will receive TWO free Hasselblad lenses (HCD 28mm lens AND the HC 2.8/80mm lens).

Wait a few days or contact your favorite authorized Hasselblad retailer to see if they have the offer or not.
