Mamiya RB67 Pro S & RB67 Pro SD focusing screens

[John O']

I own an RB67 Pro S with a metered prism, no WLF). I'm looking for a split focusing screen as my eyesight is not good enough for precise focusing since the prism does not have a magnifier. I know that the lenses are not interchangeable between the two models. my question is are the backs, finders, and screens interchangeable? I see screens on eBay for the Pro SD but want to make sure they'll fit my Pro S before I buy one.

Thanks in advance for the responses.

The lenses are interchangeable between the two cameras, with the exception of a couple of special purpose lenses like the 75mm shift lens. In some cases, an accessory ring is recommended to deal withe certain narrow throat lenses.
All the RB models will work with all the RB screens.
None of the RZ screens will work with any of the RB models.
I find the Reznitsky Compatibility chart to be invaluable: http://www.reznitsky.info/Mamiya/Comchart.htm

They are interchangeable.

You should try getting a WLF. I have the split focusing screen (first generation, so not too bright) and the regular screen, and in the end i find focusing with the regular screen easier.
