I'd appreciate some help here.
The original viewfinder that comes with the Hasselblad SWC is squinty as hell. I've sourced a piece of glass from a lens that works to 'just about' the same field of view, but it won't mount on the accessory shoebit I have, because I don't have any strong bonding putty right now, and I don't have the time or means to build a proper frame around the glass to mount it.
You can see it here, held by double-sided tape http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y43/second-belated/lfpf/DSC02753.jpg
Are there any viewfinders out there that will do the same job?
I'm thinking maybe some LF viewfinders might be available that are big and bright and easy to see through, and with 5x4/5x7/10x8 aspect ratio it wouldn't be too difficult to square-off the frame?
I was tempted by a 58mm on 6x7 Koni Omega vf and hope there's empty space to frame with, as that's not quite wide enough.
Please help!
