Well... after nearly a month of the frustrations of two DOA lenses and several chargers later, I now have a fully functional P45+ / Phamiya system. The replacement 80mm F2.8 seems sharper at the edges at F2.8 than the original one was at F5 and has a lovely sweet spot at around F7.1
So finally I'm more or less in love and learning the ropes has become a pleasure. There's little as thrilling as zooming in on screen or making a large print and finding all sorts of tiny details and careful tonal graduations and at ISO 50 the results are stunning. So next to deal with is the acquisition of a 28mm Mammy and the 45MM Phase /Hartblei I have on order. If I could only work out why C1 keeps crashing on Out Of Memory when it's running on a virgin 8 core Mac Xeon with 8 gig of RAM I'd be truly happy...
So THANKS to everyone for your advice and hand holding. The grumpy bit was just a phase...
