Identify a focusing screen supposedly for 203FE

[dennis_ng]

<p>Just got a 203fe. I thought I have the 42219 but as there is no grid line, it does not look like it. It is also not 42210 as there is a split image in the middle. Not sure what is that.<br /> It is a acute-matte D as it got two semi-circle on the left.<br /> Just not sure what it is?<br /> A not very good picture here:<br /> /> Any advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p> </p>

[q.g._de_bakker]

<p>It's (30)42215.</p>

<p>If you imagine a circle in the center, with the reference cross line's outer ends indicating the diamater, inside that circle is the area metered by the 203 FE.</p>

<p>Thanks.<br>

Is any implication to have this instead of the 203Fe screen 42219 and 42210? Meter affected or ...<br>

Not sure shall I chase KEH on this or not.</p>

 

[q.g._de_bakker]

<p>It wil not affect metering. The meter in the 203 FE is 'below' the screen and does not use the viewfinder.</p>

<p>The (30)42215 was the screen Hasselblad put in all their cameras when last they sold V-System cameras.</p>

<p>You could try KEH, see if they will swap it against a (30)42210, which is the one that was supposed to be in a 203 FE.<br>

But there's nothing wrong with the one you have really.</p>

[dennis_ng]

<p>Good. If there is nothing wrong, I would use it for a while. I may try to get hold an extra 42219 (with the grid line) as my original intent is when I bought this from them. </p>

<p>hello</p>

<p>If a 203FE has a focus screen with a large circle of dots and a cross in the center, what focus screen is this? is it the Acute-matte D?</p>

<p> </p>

[q.g._de_bakker]

42203, made for the 203 FE (the circle indicates the metering area of the camera).<br>Acute Matte, but unless there are two D-shaped notches in the rim, not Acute Matte D.<br><Br>If there are two such notches, and the reference cross lines touch the circle, it's 42210: the same but Acute Matte D.
