Hi Ralf
I went for Foto-Partner Proshop in Germany, and asked for Mr. Lindner as you told me. But it was another guy that replied on my request.
I expect second-to-none performers in these lenses - and look forward to be able to solve more advanced photo assignments than the 28 and 80 would let me.
Now I don´t know if I should let the 80 go, or just keep it as a lower focallength until I get at 50mm.
Untill then I will use my 1Ds2 with a 35/1.4 for these assignments where 35 mm is desired.
However i always like the 60 mm distagon over the 50 mm distagon - is there any chance Hasselblad would make a HC 60 ?

Hi Claus,
I started with the same combo (28 + 80), then got the 100 for xmas 2009.
I don't believe we can expect a HC 60, too close to the 50 and then
there is the HCD 35-90 which seems really good (don't own it though
but consider it). And then, the HC 50 on a H3D-39/50 is a 55mm lens and
on the H3D-31 its a 65mm lens, very close to 60.
I will not let go the 80, it's a good quality lens and you probably don't make
a lot of money out of it.
Anyway, all personal considerations, just my thoughts.

Point taken.
I have been offered a HC 50-110 at a reasonable price (2500 Euro) - though i haven´t seen it yet, it´s stated as an A+ condition.
Currently i have these
HCD 28
HC 80
HC 100
HC 150
+ Teleconverter 1.7
I believe the HC 50-110 would fit nicely in the gap.....
But would you recommend it - I know it´s a heavy lens, but would it be better to buy the HC 50 (I´m thinking "feel", sharpnes, bokeh)
I think the HC 50-110 would be perfect for allround wedding lens
What do you think ?
