Welcome here, Auguste.

I found your first post attached in the calendar section and copied it to
the introduction section.

I have no idea what finder Lee Friedlander used but like to mention the focusing screen
and finder combination that gives the user an accurate view of the image the SWC delivers
to the film or digital back.

I will try to find a picture of this combination.
Both focusingscreen attachment and finder are no longer available from Hasselblad.
If you think they are usefull you have to look for these components at auctionsites etc.

Thanks for showing the combination.

PS/ I read as well some bladist photographer use to Hassy Focusing Back
do you have informations about thisQUOTE]
 
Auguste, The focusing back is attached to the camera first. Then you attach the viewfinder. The focusing back can be seen between the body and viewfinder. The image is correct up and down but reversed left to right with his setup. I think it is the best way to get an accurate view of what the camera will capture. Sorry, it is not for sale but can be found on the used market. Place a WANT TO BUY ad in the classified section of this forum!

Louis,

There is a viewing screen available in the classified section.
These screens come with early or later Acute Matte screens/depoli!
You can use the chimney finder but the image will be upside down and l/r reversed.

With the RMfx finder upside down is corrected, l/r stays reversed.

If you see a RMfx finder under 250 euro grab it.
These finders are hard to find.
