I love 645 format but the problem of the A16 or 16 back on the Hasselblad isthat its just really good for horizontals. Not verticals. Very awkwardoperating the camera on its side with modern prisms which stick you way offto the side.In the past years though I discovered the older prisms in the catalog beforethe Polaroid backs came out and they were designed and made in Germany not Sweden The HC-1 Reflex 90 degree finder first made for Hasselblad by the famous Hensoldt of Wetzlar. I got mine for 90 bucks.
The PM90 and PME90 are made with similar slim/low build, and have a better eyepoint than the HC-1.
But are more expensive.As far as i know, no Hasselblad prism finder was made by Hasselblad. After Hensoldt (Hc-1), it was mostly Karl Müller (= Novoflex) and Zeiss Ikon (CdS meter prism).
The latest PM 45 and PME 45 will most likely be Fuji products. ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
