Hasselblad or Bronica

[Sirius Glass]

It's quite likely that something is internally slightly out of alignment in your Hasselblad. It is probably worthwhile having it serviced.

These are the focusing screen i have for my Hasselblad:

This is the first one

And the second one is in attachments as a doc file, i drew it as i couldn't find a link for it exactly, that one has a little scratch on the centered circle but it doesn't change the face i have difficulty to focus smoothly precisely.

Just a thought, before you send it off.
Just check that the screen is installed the right way up. I'm sure it, is but why not have a look!

It is installed the right way up, i will not make mistake in this.

I wish to meet another Hasselblad user in my area if i can find and check if his/her one focusing better than mine or if he think mine is doing fine and i just have this wrong feeling about the focusing.

I haven't used the acute matt versions, but I really despise the standard screen. I use one of the microprism screens in one body, and a split image in the other. Either are miles above the standard cross-hair screen, IMHO.

Where to get those?

Using the Acute-Matte D screen with split image rangefinder, I find focusing to be very positive. I cannot compare it to the RZ, which I haven't tried, but I have not been disappointed with it.

I got one a while ago on ebay for $121,I've seen 'em go for up to $400.Patience is the key,they're quite scarce,but wonderful to have.

A lot of money if you ask me for something which can be easily replaced by cropping or a pair of scissors.
