Addressing a couple of concurrent threads here...
I have the Hasselblad branded adapter (it's actually discontinued, but a couple of dealers still have a piece or two around), and have enjoyed using the Hassy 110mm f2 and 250mm f5.6.
Lately though, I've had a real problem with negs overexposing considerably...someone mentioned to me that the adapter might be causing the shutter to stick. Anyone else experience this? With color neg film, I still get somewhat printable negatives, but it's baffling how off the exposure is lately...
As far as the 140mm Contax lens, that's actually a much better lens than I first thought...I thought in the past the 120mm was more than enough for me. But for portraits, the 120mm is really too sharp, and the 140mm is outstanding in the way it renders skin tone, overall color and the out of focus areas. I do wish it focused more closely, but otherwise I love it as a portrait lens for an outstanding system.
