Help me find an external Viewfinder

[Pirate]

I'm looking for an external viewfinder for my Hasselblad SWC. I want a bigger one than the little guy that's on here stock.

Something like the one in this picture (but this mount is different):

Thanks for any help

Alpa will modify one for you...

Other than that, I can't think of any square-format finders for 38mm on 6x6.

You are aware, I take it, that the Alpa finder has spectacular barrel distortion?

Cheers,

R.

Fotoman made a viewfinder for different formats and focal lengths - all obtained by the use of masks inserted into the basic 120 degree viewfinder.

Thanks, Roger, I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks, Leigh, that Fotoman just might be it!

Later model SWC have a different finder from the early ones. Look at a 903SWC for example; they have it. It has a larger exit eyepiece lens, and has the bubble level built-in, rather than picking up the one in the camera body. They are expensive, but there are Chinese knockoffs of it on eBay. It has less distortion than the original model.
