Hasselblad Focusing Screen Numbers

[Daniel Larsen]

Hello, everyone. I'm looking for information on the (part) numbers for Hasselblad focusing screens. I do not have current access to the Hasselblad Compendium, and my Wildi edition has pictures and descriptions, but no numbers. I have a recently acquired 503cx with an older, dim screen (black cross hairs painted on, no microprism or split image rangefinder). I am interested in knowing what the number is for the screen that has a combination rangefinder/microprism, where the rangefinder split is diagonal (similar to the one in my Rolleiflex SL2000f, which I really enjoy using). Is the combination rangefinder/microprism screen a discontinued one? Is there another brand or model that has a diagonally split rangefinder?

Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.

Best regards, Dan

The interchangeable screen with split-image rangefinder center spot (7.5mm horizontal) is No. 42188. The interchangeable microprism version (15mm spot) is No. 42234. An interchangeable version of the latter with a checked pattern to aid horizontal and vertical alignment is No. 42250. The above all fit the 500C/M and 500EL/M. I don't know if they fit the 503cx which I would assume has an interchangeable screen as there were others for permanent installation.

Thanks, Allan. I really appreciate the help. Best regards, Dan

B&H Photo lists the current Acute-Matte D version of the Microprism/Split-Image screen as 42215. This is an excellent, bright screen, but the rangefinder split is horizontal.
