Title: Any recommondations on a 45° viewfinder - Hassie
Post by: jools230575 on August 21, 2010, 08:35:10 am

Afternoon

Anyone have any recommendations on a 45° viewfinder for a Hasselblad V Series? I'm not in need of a metered one as I have a spot metter to do my measurements.

The reason behind the 45° request os that I use a Polaplus back on my Hassie.

Thanks for any help.

A PM 45 prism will cost about $350-450 in ex condition; there are several available at KEH.   I have both PM-45 and PME-45 prisms and found the TTL metering with the PME to be very accurate and helpful.

Thanks for that. I found a PM5 at a reasonable price. It's on the way as we speak and it will help when sticking my Hassie on the tripod.
