It simply never hit the > resolution of the 35mm lenses. Sometime ago, I came across a website of a fellow who had resolution tested several dozen lenses, both medium format anf small format. The Hasselblad lenses were not far off the 35mm lenses that he tested. One time a fellow came to me to do an 11x14 from a hassy negative. He had shot a picture of an apartment building, but the only way he had for correcting the verticals was to back down the street a fairly long way. I ended up using just slightly more than the area of a 35mm negative to make his 11x14. At that, detail in the individual bricks facing the building was plainly visible.
