Hasselblad focusing screen in a Rolleiflex?

[FrankS]

Does anyone know if a Hasselblad focusing screen can be used in a Rolleiflex? The metal frame would have to be removed, I figure.

Why not use the focusing screens made by Rick Oleson:

I have one in my Rollei and it is just wonderful to use.

Hasselblad screens are 58x58 mm, Rolleiflex screens are 58x62 mm if I remember correctly.

For Rolleiflex there are all sorts of third-party screens (Beattie et al.) as well as fairly good replacement screens by Rollei themselves.

would that be possible for 2.8 flexes?

This is perfect, thanks! I was trying to avoid paying more for an upgraded focusing screen than I did for the camera.
