Rotating back? Or Viewfinder to view with camera rotated?

<p>Stupid question but is there an adapter or a trick to taking pictures with the Hasselblad rotated since it doesn't rotate like the Mamiya does? Or at least a viewfinder that can make it easier to view while the camera is rotated? Asking because I ran 35mm film into the 120 back and only does it portrait unless I rotate it. So I was just wondering. Thanks!</p>

<p>You can get an eye level finder for hasselblad to make it possible to view the scene in the viewfinder.</p>

<p>Presumably you are using the waste level finder. Although expensive, a 90 degree prism finder would facilitate viewing when the camera is held with its side up. I am not familiar with the type of viewing mask used to delineate the 35mm frame on the Hasselblad and wonder if it is available or useable with a 90 degree finder. I leave that question for yourself or others. Maybe a multiframe sports viewfinder exists as well?</p>

<p>As said a 90 degree finder, and yes you could draw mask lines on the ground glass with grease pencil as this will wipe right off. </p>

<p>Which Hasselblad are you asking about? The H series which is 645 size or the V series which is 6x6?</p>

<p>Anthony they made a very limited number of 35mm backs for the V series cameras back in the 60-70s I think. I have never been able to find on or even see one. They were not in production for long I think?</p>

 

<p>Just shoot 6x6 and you will not need to rotate the camera. :)</p>
