Is there anything inherently wrong with a first generation Noblex 6/150?
How much of a problem is the hyperfocal focussing as opposed to infinity
in landscape photography. Anything else one should be aware of?

There are two problems known to me with the older 6/150: It is easy
to loose the old style battery covers, and the leaf springs at
both film rolls can be loose, so you have large steps between
negatives and the last one is only half exposed.

The lens is easily one of the best I have yet seen. I routinely
use my Noblex freehand with 1/250s and (mostly) f8 or f11 (depending
on light), but everything is incredible sharp at all distances.
