Installing a Beattie Brightscreen in an early (1963) Hasselblad 500C. From 1957-1969, the Hasselblad focus screen assembly consisted of eight separate parts shown in the second photo (the four hold down screws are not shown). This is why you should have the screen replaced by a technician as it has to have focus calibrated after removal. In 1969 Hasselblad changed to a one piece screen that the user can remove and install easily.
