Hasselblad make a film back - HM16-32 for their H cameras. Is there a dedicated focusing screen for this back that has lines that serve as a guide for framing. I want use this on an H5D50c. Does one assume the full viewfinder somehow maps to the size of the frame (6x4.5) on the film ?

Well firstly check the H5D50C to see if it supports the film back. I doubt it does. The film back fits the H1, H2, H4X, H5X and possibly some others.
The film back is bigger than most digital sensors, so if it works then it will capture more. The original viewfinder (HV 90X?) covers a larger area.

Thank you. The H5D50c does indeed support the film back. It has been since a recent firmware update that also made live-view possible.

You will need the full size grid screen (reference 3043310) and the HVx or HVx-II viewfinder. The viewfinders exist in gray (old color) and in black to match the H5 series.
