tarjei_larsen Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 <p>Except for the split image and microprism, are there any practically relevant differences between the 42215 and the 42204? In particular, are the peripheral parts of the screens the same with regard to brightness and contrast, and hence with regard to the ease with which off-center objects can be brought into precise focus?<br /> Thanks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 <p>Page 186 of the Hasselblad System Compendium says that the 42204 is a standard screen, and the 42215 has the microprism and split image. These are both Acute Matte D screens, so they are both equally as bright.<br> <br /> I had the 42215 and loved it. Super bright and contrasty. Night and day from the original mid-1970s screen. I believe both of these screens were made by Minolta under license from Hasselblad.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q.g._de_bakker Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Acute Matte screens are made for Hasselblad, by Minolta, 'under license from' Minolta.<br>Minolta invented and made that type of screen.<br>;-)<br><br>The 'plain matte' part of those two screens is the same, Tarjei.

jukka1 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 <p>Hi!<br />I investigated different screens and I just ordered 42215. <br />I think you should do the same :)<br />Sincerely, Jukka</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarjei_larsen Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 <p>Thanks Jukka! I've decided I will get one too. May I ask where you ordered yours from, and how much you gave for it? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukka1 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 <p>Hi Tarjei!<br />I ordered from Finland for 230 euros, new screen, takes 2-3 weeks to arrive.<br />Sincerely, Jukka</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
