Hasselblad H Eyecup

[hubertk]

Hi everyone

This is Hubert. I am new here but I have already received lots of help from several members here. Thank you!

I am demoing a Hasselblad H4D this weekend. So far so good, but I was quite shock to find the viewfinder not as good as I expected. It's nice and bright for sure, but I found the design of the eye piece quite lacking. It's easy for me to get flare in the viewfinder on a sunny day ( although we don't have many of those up here in the Pacific Northwest!). I am used to using eye cups that blocks the external light and wrap around the side of my eye. I don't wear glasses when I shoot.

I know. It's trivial. Probably not something a $1 piece of rubber can't solve, but it's quite important to me as part of the reason for me to consider moving up to Hasselblad is the nice viewing experience when composing the pictures. Does anyone know if there are other options other than the standard Hasselblad eye piece?

Thanks again,

Hubert
