So, Hasselblad users past and present, what was your hasselblad load out?
What bodies, lenses, finders, film backs, winder/knobs do/did you use most of the time?
 
My favourite point & focus shooter - 203FE with 110mm f2 lens. Fantastic ultra-sharp lens with smooth bokeh.

My stand-by: 501cm with 80mm f2.8.

And for wides, the SWC/M.

But along the way, I've acquired a bunch of other C and CF lenses too, e.g. 40mm, 50mm, 150mm, 180mm, and 250mm. I pull them out whenever the need arises.

I mostly use an A12, but have an A24 because I still have a bunch of 220 film.
 
500cm, 500elx, 40, 50, 80, 150.

I'm going to a juried art show opening tonight which includes a 10x10 print of mine, taken with the 40.
 
Lenses: everything between SWC 38mm Biogon and Sonnar 250+2x Mutar.
Bodies: 500 c/m, 503 CW, 201F, I threw one ELX away when it broke.
Most useful general purpose lens: Distagon 60/3.5
Portrait killer: Planar 110
Most fun to use: SWC/M
Film: mainly TriX or HP5+
90% tripod.
 
1956 1000F with a Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 Tessar and C12 back.

1962 500C with an early six element 80mm Planer and a C12 back.

I usual use Ilford PanF or Ilford Delta 100 film.
 
500cx, 50mm and 150mm lenses, 2 backs. Excellent camera, I've just come to prefer cameras with fixed lenses right now (less GAS that way, and often smaller), so I'm onto a Rolleiflex.
 
For me it's the 500CM with a regular waist level finder and a rapid crank and a couple A12 backs that like to skip frames (I'll address that shortly).

I use an 80 and 150mm right now both C lenses, but I'm planning on making a swap to a 50 / 80 / 150 CF lens setup.
