The only other lens I have for the Hasselblad is the 80 that came with it. But the 60 focuses closer so the smallest object is about the same; because it's wider the 3.5 is effectively as fast as the 2.8. But for me the most important thing is the geometry: the size of the frame (width or height) is just about equal to the the camera to subject distance -- to shoot a 6 foot figure, stand back about 6 feet and voil?! Ken, numbers 12, 14, 16 and 17 are very good pictures, especially the latter two where the verticals are straight.
