The 28mm f4 is a remarkable design.

It remains excellent even on the H6D-100c ten years after its release which is quite a feat.

Cheers,
Bernard

The Hasselblad HCD 28mm f4 is indeed a remarkable design and was* the best wide I'd ever used.

* until I used the Leica 21mm Super Elmar f3.4 ASPH.

On the matter of 21mm lenses: have you checked out the stuff that Jeanloup Sieff'used to produce with his 21mm on Leica?  Brave guy: he took it along as his only lens on his first shoot for a big fashion mag and, to his surprise, managed to start a long relationship despite the fright he gave the editors.

Hi Rob, not sure if I've seen it or not, have you a link handy?

For some reason I seem to be attracted to narrow alleyways where I wouldn't be without that 21mm (the Hasselblad 28mm had a similar FOV).

Some Death Valley stuff in his book wouldn't have happened without a 21mm!

Big difference to a mere 24mm...

Thanks, certainly adds a different perspective.
