Bought a 500c/m kit on a whim a few weeks ago after falling in love with it at a local camera shop. Came with lots of goodies but one thing I'm not sure about is the screen. At first I thought it was an old non-Acute Hasselblad screen but I think it might be and Acute-Matte #42165 screen. Bad cell phone pic is the best I can do at the moment, but the screen does not have any crescent "D" shapes carved into the bezel. The crosshairs are a very thin and a faint grey color + I can feel texture to them when I run my fingers over the bottom of the screen. Does this mean it's an Acute Mate? Planing on buying a PME prisim soon, so I'd like to know if I need to buy one that's calibrated for AM screens.
Also, the screen is a little dirty. What is the best way to clean them? I've heard if you try to spray them with liquid, it can easily get trapped between the screens and make things even worse.
Don't try to clean screens.
If you can focus easily don't change screens.
Get a plain prism without meter.
If you must have a meter on camera get the little meter knob.
If the screen doesn't have the cut outs, it's probably not an acute-matte.
Thanks a lot for all that info, Chris. Answered all my questions about AM screens and then some.
