The glass is wonderful, just a little slow (f4). Apparently  most of 
the finish problems were in the first batch. A friend got one about 6 
months after they were introduced and the finish peeled off in <1 
year. Hasselblad replaced it and he has had no problems at all since 
then, even with fairly heavy use.
