I got myself a very cheap deal on a Carl Zeiss T* 40mm/f4 Distagon lens for my Hasselblad, but I also found straight away why the deal was so cheap. The lens is still a very good value for the money, but I’m not impressed by the bad quality I archived on several shots.
I’m waiting to blame the lens only as the shot I developed where from two Color slides roll I scanned last night, developped with quite exhaisted chemichals… but I’m pretty sure the lens had its impact.
I gotta wait for the developed film from the Fotosynthesis Photo Marathon to be sure, although that was shot in black and white and I’m sure that ghosting and glaring (and focusing problems) will be less noticeable.
Will keep posted!
