Hi, just a bit of background: I used to have a YashicaMAT 124 that I let go of to get something else and have been missing lately. I have also been wanting something that gives that Zeiss planar look (Zeiss Planar, I know).

So the question; what, if anything, is the difference on print between a Rollie and a Hassy? Or between a 2.8 and a 3.5 Rollei planar. Or for that matter between the planar and a Xenotar?

And since I'm asking is the Hassy much easier to focus for a guy that's a little gray around the muzzle and that needs Bifocals, and if so how much? I don't really need the other lenses available to the Hasselblad as I'm good with the 80mm focal length so that's not a concern.

I'm thinking about selling my two RB67 Pro-S kits to help fund this and really don't want to go through seller's remorse over them either- although since getting a D800 I haven't used them much.

thanks in advance.
