Damn, damn fine lenses. The 120 f/4 macro on a Hasselblad is an awesome hunk of glass. I would think it would be said to serve it's format as well as the 90/2 ASPH APO does for 24x36 mm. Plus it gets right in there to the nubbies! I've LOVING my 90/2 ASPH APO by the way, it's balance and feel and results. And i don't have the 120 for my Blad system yet. The Distagon CF 3.5/60 mm lens is a fast, light and compact wide-angle lens for the Hasselblad not ultrafast like the 35/1.4 for Leica but an awesome performer none the less. And so is a 50, Fle or no fle's. Lately i hear the reason faster lenses are not made for medium format is lack of flatness of the neg. It's certainly a viable different ball game. Markwr via ball via nota duck?
