I've been using the 65 for portraits until recently. Rendering is beautiful, but for anything other than full body, it distorts quite noticeably. The 90 now is amazing.

I totally agree! I just ordered it from the Hasselblad European shop. Had to trade in my XCD 4/21 to do it though. sigh.

Seems like this thread should be in the Lens section, but oh well.  I have a 21mm and love it.  So, I went to look at the specs of the new 25mm and noted that the horizontal FOV is 10 degrees different.  Seems to me that is a lot.  The 21mm HFOV is 92 degrees and the 25mm is 82 degrees.  That makes the 25mm a bit less of an ultra wide.  The 25mm does focus a tad closer and it has the ergonomic advantages of the new generation of lenses.  And, presumably its auto focus motor is faster.  But, I would be interested in other's thoughts about this new lens vs. the "absolutely amazing" 21mm.

And crazy - it is available and one can really buy it!    Let's see how long :-)
