Acute Matte for Hasselblad

[johncox]

<p>Does anyone know if I can use a acute matte from the 203FA (42203) on a 500 (500CM in particular) series camera?<br>

Thanks <br>

John.</p>

Yes, acute matte is interchangeable between all Hasselblad V series camera bodies.<br>

And you must have meant either a 202FA or a 203FE. There is no 203FA body.<br /><br />It may be better, however, if you post a photo of the screen so that you can be sure it's really an acute matte. Many people get the screens confused.</p>

<p>Yes.<br>

<br />If you use a meter prism, you will have to recalibrate it (or just set the ISO lower).</p>

<p>Thanks I have an option to buy a 500cm and the said acute matte for a good deal and I just wanted to make sure they would work.</p>

If still in the stage of considering the purchase, do indeed make sure it is an Acute Matte screen, and not an old style.<br>Not that either wouldn't work, but the Acute Matte screens are much more expensive, and all too often people sell old style screens for what they are not, Acute Matte screens, asking far too much for what they are actually selling.
