Identifying Hasselblad screen
Hello everyone, I already have several regular "old" Hasselblad screens, including hair cross (42162?), split image (42196), grid with loupe (42250). Never had acute-matte or third party screens before. Recently I acquired another screen. It is definitely not "D" type acute-matte (no doouble trenches 42204), but it looks brighter than the regular screens. I am wondering if it's an old version acute-matte (42165), or third-party screens. Is there any way to tell? The new screen also has hair cross, but unlike the old style which has black lines seemingly embeded between top and bottom glass, the lines are engraved at the bottom glass (can touch and feel it) and it's colorless. When looking at a book through those screens, all of them look similar in transparency when directly put on the page (the new one seems a little brighter though). when lifting them an inch above the page, old screens become darker and grounder very fast, while the new one can see though more clearly (still losing the image but in lesser degree). Also, the new one seems to have a bigger loupe effect than the old ones when holding this way. When looking through the screen under WLF, the new screen image seems more TV screen like: an image generated by many fine lines, and the fine fines move, change hues when changing viewing direction. It is definitely brighter than old screens, I will guess about 1.5 stop. I know there are other brighter screen by BEATTIE, etc. But never has experience with them. Is my new screen the older acute-matte type? How to tell the difference with other brand screens? Is there any difference between original and "D" type acute-matte? Thanks for help. Tris |
