Richard,
Before you embarrass yourself, check your facts on the first f2 Ektar as used on the Bantam Special at 47mm. Vigilants always were roll film cameras. Of course, I may be wrong.
If you need any information on the 80mm f2.8 Ektar as supplied to H'blad, contact Oscar Heinneman, as he transplanted one in an original 2.8 Rollei which had an unsharp lens (mismatched) It was indeed 
a 5 element Heliar type. I may be wrong here too, but I doubt it,

Jerry

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.
