If was every going to pickup a medium format body again this would be the one I would drool after! The ALPA 12 TC…
The TC stands for Travel Compact and as you can see it’s rather small.
The ideal travelling camera – there is nothing comparable. Some see the ALPA 12 TC as the digital successor of the defunct Hasselblad SWC but in any case, it is the smallest and lightest 6×9 roll-film camera for professionals. At the same time it is also the smallest and lightest digital camera with more than 60 MP. The 12 TC is fully integrated into the ALPA platform and all lenses, from the extreme 23-mm wide-angle to 250‑mm focal length can be used (of course only if the image circle is sufficient for the chosen format). Accessories can be attached on all four sides of the frame: for example a viewfinder, a small fingergrip, a massive handgrip, a flashlight, a spirit level, a small exposure meter or whatever else is required. The entire ALPA range of accessories is available together with many accessories from other manufacturers. ALPA is and remains an open system.
DROOL!

Looks interesting. I like the idea of adapting Rodenstock VC lenses.
However when one adds th elens extenders for anything but ultra wide, the camera becomes almost the size of a Hassy, though the weight will be lighter. The Hassy still provides benefits as an SLR (with the exception of the SWF), while this is a rangefinder. If one already owns the VC lenses this might be a nice option, though on the slow side (manual shutter).
