Hasselblad Prism advice needed

[lxmike]

I have not tried this one, but I use sometimes a meterless PME 90 on my F bodies, and you can easily see the whole image even with glasses, but at the expense of having only a 2x magnification ( the image is small). For this specific use ( shooting over a balcony fence) it's OK, but I find 90 degree prisms really cumbersome to use on a Hassy unless you are using a tripod. If you use glasses, there are only two good solutions: WLF and NC2 or PM 45 deg prisms. Actually, the best would be the Kiev NC2 copy with the eyepiece from the original NC2, which is somewhat wider. The Kiev VF is a bit brighter than the original.

thank you for a very useful reply, NC-2 or a 45 PM is what i have narrowed it down to, (with forum help of course)

well as luck would have it a prism popped up on fleabay at a price l could not resist, at £45 and free postage l thought it was worth a punt, after all the wise advice l decided that a 45 degree prism would suite my needs, anyway this one was serviced last year and the meter is actually working, cosmetically it is challenged but l am happy as long as it does the job
