Over christmas I received a used Canon 35mm camera from KEH.com and was so impressed with the camera that I decided to go back to them when I wanted to purchase some new Hasselblad gear. After a few conversations with Sam Muller and Tim Z I decided to go with the Hasselblad 40mm over the 50mm. I picked the 40mm because its wider, tack sharp, and has very low distortion with the only negative being the lens is HUGE. It’s as long as my hand and the lens is larger then my palm. My main intention with the lens is to shoot portraits and not action. I also picked up a NC2 prism to try out.
