Hasselblad HC-4 90 Degree Prism Finder + Pouch (52086). Condition: EXC.

The Hasselblad HC-4, part 52086 - also catalogued as the Reflex Viewfinder RM. This is the 90 degree eye-level prism for the V system, and it is a good deal harder to find than the common 45 degree finders. The 90 degree view is the reason to want one. You look straight through the camera in line with the lens, holding it at eye level like a 35mm SLR, instead of tilting down into a 45 degree prism or a waist-level hood. For handheld work, for following a moving subject, and for anyone who finds the laterally reversed waist-level image hard going, it transforms how a Hasselblad handles. Unmetered, with 3x magnification and a dioptre-adjustable eyepiece with a rubber eyecup, so it can be set to your own eyesight. It fits the V system bodies - 500C/M, 501, 503, 500EL/M and the 2000 and 200 series. The chrome mounting frame is engraved "Made in Germany West", dating this one to before 1990. Supplied in its Hasselblad soft pouch.
