I have a Hasselblad 100mm Planar f3.5 T* CFi This is an optic worthy of mentioning in the same paragraph as the 75mm f/2.0 APO Summicron M Asph or 90mm f/2.0 APO Summicron M Asph. It's a WOW optic. Wonder of Wonders Wendy O Williams Web Object Wrapper I shot tons of events with the system in the gay 90's. Switched from Nikon. I can move fast as lightning with a Hasselblad in my hand or on a tripod even. It does not slow me down as much as you'd think. And I shot plenty of on location fashion with the stuff. The results I'd get now would put 24x36 format digital in the shade. This we've discused on the lug a bit already.. The first thing that happened to me when I came to New York threee years ago I was signing my first lease and some kid from some photo class comes up to me and shoots my picture with the school Hasselblad. This in the East Village. A film back. I had to pack carefully on my way over here. My Hasselblad was in the car for sure. Mark William Rabiner
