Isle of Wight Steam Railway with 2002 501CM

a Coach trip to Isle of Wight -- I decided to try my 2002 bought Hasselblad 501CM with A24 and A12 backs and for Colour took some more of my 1999 outdated Fuji ASTIA 220 size which I processed myself. I am still not sure about the 80mm f2.8 CFE Planar T* lens -- or is it the BODY out of alignment -- the sharpness was disappointing on many I took including some on the Steam Railway of the Staff for example even using fill-in flash and 1/250th second.
