Hasselblad Acute Matte Screen, Pre-D version (the first version of the acute matte). This one is supposedly brighter than the D version, but I don't know whether that's true.

In very good condition, aside from some cleaning marks (I never cleaned it myself). Comes with a Hasselblad case.

$50 via PayPal.

Just out of curiosity... Why is this version $50, but the "D" version is $300? I have the split screen and its way darker than my old Mamiya screens were, so I've been contemplating the D screen.

Simple answer: this is an older screen and it has a simple etched "cross hair," not a microprism focusing aid.

However, I've read a post at photo.net that suggests that the older version is actually brighter than the D version -- but I can't verify that personally.

If you look around enough, you can find a D screen for between $125 - $150, but you have to be patient. Myself, I don't think it's worth the cost (like most Hassie accessories), but that's just me.

And this one is brighter than the general screen with the split image focus aid in the middle?

Definitely brighter than the general screen, much brighter.

Let me contemplate this one for a little bit. I'll get back to you.
