The nearest I have in sheer sharpness is the 180 f/4 lens on the Hasselblad,
although the 350 SA would be outstanding I am sure.  The 180 is almost too
sharp for portraits, showing every pore and belmish and banned by my wife
for any personal portriats!

In answer to Dickbo's earlier comment (I must find out where he gets what he
seems to be smoking ;-)) all images were on a tripod, mirror lock up on the
Hassy and shutter speeds above 1/250th sec.  Why he thinks I am blaming
tools is beyond me, as is why he bothers with the 'bo' bit on his name (just
kidding dickbo, if you're listening ;-))
