It is the only Hasselblad lens I have (other than the ubiquitious 80) and I agree it is a great lens. To keep this on topic, I'm going to test my APO 90 with Infrared film and my 89B filter to see just how apochromatic the thing really is. I am rediscovering the beauty of this film. I use it mainly for nudes, so I'm not certain if I should post the URLs here, but maybe I can find some scenics or something to post at my site. dan c.
