Jim,
Of course a handheld Hassy asks a considerable higher performance from the
operator.
If the opereator handles the Hasselblad as it should be done even at
shutterspeeds
well below 1/60 sharp negatives are possible.
I admit using a Hasselblad handheld is not everybodies cup of tea.
It is like moving about with an Arriflex film camera:
Some cameramen master that art without anybody noticing these shots were not
made with a dolly.
It means good control over a large number of muscles including breathing.
Those who master that technique will be rewarded by large sharp negatives
that
will beat 35 mm anytime.

Leica negatives need more enlargement for the same size print.
A sharp 35mm image will always out perform a MF not-so-sharp image.
Perhaps they would be equal at happysnap size - 4x6 & 5x5.
I have some critically sharp 20x24 Ciba prints from my hand held Leica M,
35/1.4 ASPH, 1/30 @ f/5.6, Fuji Provia 100. Would not have worked with my
Hasselblad, same film, same f/stop, same shutter speed. I've tried it and
that was the last time that I hand held my Hassy. The Leica M is made for
hand holding - no mirror and easy to hold/use. I'll take a sharp 35mm
image any day over a mirror vibrated MF image.
But, if you are not going to print anything over, say, 8x8, then my point
is probably moot.
MHO,
Jim
