Changing the Focusing Screen
The screen is easily interchanged without the require-
ment of special tools.
Detach the magazine and viewfinder.
Slide the screen latches to the side. Cup your hand
over the screen, and invert the camera.
The screen will now drop into your hand.
Insert the replacement screen , ensuring that the
smooth flat side of the frame is uppermost, and that all
four corners are seated on the support pins.
It is not necessary to return the screen latches. This is
done automatically when the viewfinder is replaced.
In the Hasselblad Product Catalog you will find the en-
tire range of focusing screens of different designs for
various applications.
The 503CX and CXi models are equipped with an
Acute-Matte focusing screen which provides a consid-
erable increase in the brightness of the focusing image
when compared with the focusing screens used in the
500 Classic model. On page 24 you will find instruc-
tions on how to adjust the PME and PME3 / PME5
Meter Prism Viewfinders to compensate for the light
level differences on the different focusing screens.
