Upgrading V-system question

Dear friends,

I am asking for your advice in one question: I am upgrading my Hasselblad V-system kit and I am not sure what type of lens should I buy.

Currently I am missing good wide / tele lenses. My targets are a 40 and a 350. The questions is: would C T* lenses do the job or should I just wait and raise more money for CF lenses. The purpose the lenses will be used for is landscape photography (on tripod, most of the times). Will also add that I currently have 60, 80, 100, 150 and 250 C T* lenses and 80 & 150 CF T*.

I would appreciate any kind of suggestion or advice.
Thank you,

Cristian
 
For practical reasons I would go for a 40 mm CF lens.
Lighter, filters are easier to find and an clear improvement in IQ over the C lens.
Prices are quite reasonable these days for a CF 40.

It would make sense to look for a 350 CF lens as well.
The 350CF has the same filter size as the 40 mm CF.
IQ has been improved as well, CA is m uch better.
