[HUG ] Re: A16 back

Thanks Per.
I do not consider this nit picking but valuable information.
The PME prism I have states: Hasselblad Sweden.
Although it does not say made in Sweden this prism does not show 
Hensold or Novoflex as maker.

  Just nit-picking a bit: PM(E)45 and PM(E)90 are/were made by Hasselblad. 
PM(E)3/5/51 too. I'm not sure about PM(E), that was way before my time. Might 
have been Novoflex.
