ABSTRACT
Viewfinders are interchangeable on all the more recent V system Hasselblad camera models, and focusing screens are interchangeable on all models made since 1970. This versatility allows convenient image evaluation and focusing with all lenses and accessories and with the camera handheld or on a tripod.
All Hasselblad cameras made since 1998 are supplied with an Acute Matte screen, and the very latest 500 models have a version with a split-image rangefinder and a microprism. The Acute Matte design consists of an acrylic focusing screen with a fine Fresnel pattern and microlenses (see Figure 11-1). Combined with a protective glass plate mounted in a metal frame, this design provides remarkably high brightness over the entire surface.
