This was the lens i got with my first Hasselblad in 1979. Didn't get any other lens for the system untill 83, the year the CF's were introduced. The 80 and 50 a standard configuration for the time. If it was now I"d get the awsome inspirational 120 macro followed by the 180. Instead of the 50 the 60. It's my understanding that before Avedon went 8x10 he used a Rolleiflex with 80mm 2.8 Zeiss Planar but sometimes for some reach would use a Hasselblad with the 150. NO other glass for his Hassy. Of couse that was also "then" when the 120 Macro was the much less popular 5.6. mark :) rabiner Happy "Days of Non!" updated temporary Website by "Foxy": http://spokenword.to/rabiner/
