SWC Viewfinder mask for CFV

[bladdered]

The older style SWC had a viewfinder mask available for super slides. This mask cuts down the field of view of the SWC to almost precisely that of the CFV. I've just bought a new one off eBay.

This has now replaced my hand drawn sharpie pen masking and will improve my street cred' as well as my framing accuracy.

Here's the number of the item.

That is a very good idea . Unfortunately the mask does not fit the finder of the 903SWC and 905SWC .

Therefore I opened the viewer of my 905SWC and marked the frontglas from the inside with a red water resistant marker pen .
When I use the SWC groundglas adapter , I take the 4x4 square on the grid as orientation .
Both methods , of course , are not perfect , but they help a lot .

That explains the sudden rise in prices for these 16S masks.
I have seen new ones advertised for 300 euro.

An item that you could not give away a few years ago starts a new life thanks to digital sensors. Amazing.
