I have started to get much better sharpness with my Zeiss Distagon 50mm f4CFi for Hasselblad, I used it on a trip to St Ives, Cambridgeshire using 2017 dated Ilford XP2 400 Super rated 250 ASA and am ;pleased with results even though LIGHT was terrible ! Camera was my 'Gift' 1978 HASSELBLAD 500C/M with A16 back

That's great to hear! It sounds like you had a successful trip to St Ives, Cambridgeshire using your Zeiss Distagon 50mm f4CFi lens on your Hasselblad 500C/M with an A16 back. Despite the challenging lighting conditions, you were pleased with the results when using the Ilford XP2 400 Super film, rated at 250 ASA. It's wonderful when your equipment performs well and allows you to capture the images you desire. Keep experimenting and enjoying your photography!
