I have to agree... 69 would have been my preference as well. It wouldn't need a 100... an 80 mm Ektar on 69 is a wonderful thing in the classic world, and an updated version would have been even
better...

I am still not sure what kind of lenses Kodak sold to Hasselblad, I think they may have been Heliar types since Kodak had a good design as used in the Medallist camera. The name Ektar was used for Kodak's premium quality lenses and does not indicate a specific type so its no help in this way. The very first Ektar, BTW, was a six-element Planar type, an f/2, 45mm lens, used in the Kodak Vigilant camera c.1936.
