Re: [Leica] OT: help for first time Hassie buyer?

Jerry-

Thanks for the info.
Any differences between older and newer lenses (i.e., CF vs CFi  and CFE?)
Hasselblad.com's faq says the newer lenses are sharper - I would bet the
older lenses are just fine for my doodlings..

Any reason to get a newer 500 body or they really all just very nicely made
light tight  boxes?

thanks,
Eric (eric_korenman@hotmail.com)
