Ansel did most of his best work with field cameras up to 8x10 in size. But he
also used Hasselblad extensively (probably somewhat influenced by the fact
that they gave the stuff to him.) In fact, one of his 'blads was offered at
auction a year or 2 ago for a cause. Radio DJ Don Imus bid $100,000 for it.
I don't know who actually ended up high bidder.
