Hi folks

Does anyone have one of these, or know where I can find one, please?

Thanks - Dario

I would like one too.

It's available online:

The same website has lots of other service manuals.

Information is very scarce on prisms. Manual might not be helpful.

Great, now I just need someone with the tools, skills and talent to do the work for me.

Thanks CCB. Unfortunately, that site gives details for the PME5 (and other models), but not the PME. The circuit boards in these two models are different.

Try Butkus.com.

It lists PME in the contents, however it's very thin on content regarding PME. Apart from calibration source values, I couldn't find anything useful.
Most of these newer ones are only useful as addition to initial service manuals that are hard to source. They are not full service manuals.

Here is another version but only thing it says is to replace the board with PME51 board and calibrate as PME51:

What is wrong with your PME prism? They fail extremely rarely in my experience.

I had sent my PME off to Hasselblad to be calibrated and that solved all my problems. The cost was not high enough to be bothered by it.

Hi - I apologise for the delay in replying. As you say, CCB, there's not much information. I want to adjust the calibration, which appears to be off, but need to know which pots to adjust for which light levels. There's no Hasselblad service facility in New Zealand, and I wouldn't entrust the camera to a courier. Regards - Dario

Is the prism matched to the right focusing screen??? Acute-matte vs standard etc etc.

I would like one too. I need to remove diopter glass. It has haze on the lens surface. I think PME is different than PME 3 and PME 5. How to tighten diopter glass? It is not easy like PME 3 or PME 5
