Re. finders, I've played with all of those I could get my hands on.
- The Hasselblad V, I own already, this I cannot focus any more. My eyes won't cut it.
- The Hasselblad H2 most people like, I don't. It deforms, when I move the camera around I get seasick. It looks cheap. What more can I say ?
- The Contax I cannot use without an additional diopter glass. Bah!
- The Mamiya AFDII finder somehow works for me, but I too would like a focus point display. What I plan to do is buy an extra screen and get somebody to scribe two center lines for me. Maybe there is an extra grid screen anyway ?
- The Hy6 waist-level is similat to a V Hassy, I cannot deal with it. The prism finder I haven't tried yet.
- The Mamiya ZD finder looks ok to me.
- Sadly, this just about concludes a survey of available MF bodies
- I wonder if Mamiya could be persuaded to make an MF digital rangefinder ?

Don´t ask me if the diopter calibration is wrong or if my eyes are getting tired. Last week I played with a Hassy H for half an hour, just trying to find out something about this one point: and it was definitely much better.
Having said that I´m still a MFDB-novice with my valeo17 for Hasselblad V. The purchase of a Hassy H, if ever, is years in the future for me.
