Hasselblad 201 F questions

<p >I'd like to pick up a Hasselblad 110mm F lens mainly to shoot it wide open. Is the 201 F a good enough body or should I look for a 203/205?</p>

<p >Will my 120/220 backs (plus my PME 51 prism) from my 500 CM work on the 201?</p>

<p >Also is 110mm fairly sharp wide open?</p>

<p>Yes, and no.<br>

The 201 F is perfectly "good enough", and there is no need to get a more expensive body. </p>

<p>Yes.<br>

They will.</p>

<p>Yes, sort of.<br>

It's not the sharpest lens, wide open. But there is so little DOF then, so much for it to show its special character in, that you will not even bother looking whether it is just sharp, fairly sharp or very sharp.</p>

<p>I used a 2000F with a 110 for awhile and thought it was super sharp wide open. It's all subjective, but I was very impressed with it.</p>
