You missed one, the 90 is L/R corrected too.The 45 degree prism is the only finder that corrects for the L/R mirroring which is handy.
Marko, long ago the company offered a 90 degree prism finder for the 6000 series cameras. I probably have two of these in my used gear collection. I'll ask the factory if they can fit one of these to a Hy6 base mount. Who knows? Maybe it would work as a one off special?
Thanks Marko,You missed one, the 90 is L/R corrected too.
Something like that would be really interesting! My concerns are: does it have the same magnification as the current 90 degree finder? Is it long enough to clear the DB? If the answer to the above is 'yes', I'm all for it!
Eric, thats great, thanks! Awaiting their response. On a side note, I did some Googling and found there exist a few Hasselblad prism finders which might be appropriate yet I know virtually nothing about and info is scarce, such as the HC-3/70 or RM-2. Based on images these might actually work, if adaptable. Does anyone have experience with these?I've written the factory to ask if a one off could be made with one of the older 90 prisms and am waiting to hear back.
It seems like if you have the base part, a lot of things can be made to work since its just a matter of getting the spacing right. There is a guy on ebay selling adapter frames for the rolleiflex TLRs that accepts hasselblad prisms so conceivably you could make something similar for the Hy6 to adapt V style finders - the coverage is nearly the same. Of course the Hy6 has the display on top where the V does not so it may or may not reach it all.Eric, thats great, thanks! Awaiting their response.
