Message-ID: <709A336AA1FFD21181680008C75DDA700572B2FD@SNLRES01> Dear Hassyans, I have the opportunity to purchase a Planar C 100/3.5 lens (non-T, black with chrome filter-ring) in excellent condition for DFL 1800,= ( = approx. 695 USD), including shade and Hasselblad 50 UV-filter. To me this price sounds quite low. I have seen advertised a T* version of this lens in a slightly less condition for DFL 1000 (= approx. 385 USD) more. If I want I can trade in my Planar CT* 80/2.8 for DFL 1200,= (approx. 460 USD) = exactly the same it cost me, so no financial loss will occur. I rarely use the 80 mm so it will not be missed and I think the 100 mm will be used somewhat more, because it is slightly more towards the lens I use most, the 150/4.0. I understood the 100 mm lens generally is regarded as a better design, though I'm not sure this is valid for this version (C, non-T) as well. My 80 mm lens does look quite used so the deal is very appealing. What do you recommend? Thanks for your recommendations!

My 80 mm lens does look quite used so the deal is very appealing. A good quality, used, CF version of this lens currently fetches hfl 3500, and more. The 100 mm lens has not changed design since it was introduced. So the C version is just as good a lens as the present CFi.It does lack multicoating, so you perhaps need to be a bit more careful and always use a lenshood. But you should do that anyway. The 100 mm Planar is slightly better than the 80 mm Planar, but you'll not notice that a lot. Distortion in the corners of the image is quite a bit better, but still... Main difference is the angle of view. Since you say you don't use your 80 mm lens, and it will in effect cost you nothing, plus the 100 mm is more appealing to you, what else can you do but except the deal? (But would it being more like the lens you do use a lot, i.e. the 150 mm, mean you will perhaps need it less?) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2001 10:20:19 -0500 From: Bradley Martin To: hasselblad@kelvin.net, hasselblad@kelvin.net Subject: RE: Question for the group, slightly off-topic Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20010613101354.00a48ab0@pop.ipa.net> It seems to me you got an ad for your product that you could not buy even if it didn't meet all your specifications.

You are entitled to compensation for use of your image. As the creator, you already own the copyright, but if you decide to pursue this, registering the copyright is the first step. At the very least, the magazine editor should print a credit in the next issue. -- regards, Henry Posner Director of Sales and Training B&H Photo-Video, and Pro-Audio Inc. http://www.bhphotovideo.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2001 10:54:37 -0700 From: Jim Stewart To: hasselblad@kelvin.net Subject: Re: Question for the group, slightly off-topic Message-ID: <3B27A8DD.7474971B@jkmicro.com> Bradley Martin wrote: > > It seems to me you got an ad for your product that you could not buy even > if it didn't meet all your specifications.

Message-ID: <001e01c0f474$39cb91c0$722d0dce@g4s5g1> Go for the 100, Martin! I just did some aerial shooting today with mine, and rarely use the 80 anymore. The 100 is completely trustworthy, even wide open at f 3.5. I never did like the 80 wide open, and even f4 wasn't very good (on a T* even). The 100 behaves, to me, more like a Leica lens, and I don't even think twice about using it at maximum aperture. In fact, it produces some nice portraits that way, with background pleasantly out of focus and eyelashes tack sharp. For my shooting, especially aerial, the 100 is in the same class with the wonderful Leica 180/3.4 APO (which I also used today to photograph another airplane flying formation with us). The Hassey was used by NASA for the moon shots and the latter was developed by Leica for the US Navy for recon, so maybe it's a "government spec" thing! I still keep the 80 when I need a slightly wider view, but try to never use it wider than f5.6. I like the 100 better every time I use it.
