Q.G.
All of the Carl Zeiss/Hasselblad lenses I have - and know of that others have
here in Norway, are in perfect working order. My three lenses (250, 80, and
50) , which I bought myself almost 40 years ago works perfect. A friend of
mine have similar series (150, 80, 50) of these shiny examples from the end of
the 60 - also in perfect condition...
It is the testament to the quality of the Hasselblad gear. I think it is just
a matter of time before prices will go up and the V-series gear will become
collectors items.
