Distagon 40mm

The Hasselblad handles well with gloves on. One small problem with handling the darkslide, but that can be easily resolved. Tie something to it so that you can grab it with gloves on.
The 40mm Distagon had the same problem as it had back in the States, sticking apertureblades. So this lens needs some tender love and care.
But Erwin is right, it is bulky and perhaps a bit limited for landscape photography.
On the other hand, I really love wide angle. Luckily we have ample time to decide which lenses we will carry.

  1. The Kiev's diaphragm is stuck also... No TLC will bring that alive again. On the other hand, I see some sharp pictures here!
