yeah, the focusing screens are cool, but the mirror I would advise otherside, there are lots of tiny mechanism at the side, holding the mirror. So Not too sure how this would get affected if you touch the mirror to clean it.

i hope it doesnt affect the focusing screen but i will just live with a filthy mirror for the time being and use a lenspen brush to clean the focusing screen.

Friend who ordered one was told maybe early next month .
Heard that we may get to see a demo H4D at HUG .
I think it is denis' target .
Heard that KEN SEET , who sold his Phase One P45s to buy the award winning Hasselblad H3DII 50 last year will be using this great camera on a Fine Arts series for an exhibition .
He has not had a personal exhibition for a few years now .
This could be the camera to inspire him .
Good News is that we would be able to peek at his works in the coming HUGs . ..

Hi All,
Would like to ask if anyone ever had the same issue with focusing screen.
I had installed a split focusing screen (Acute Matte D) on a 500CM.
When tried to focus on a very far distance object (building), by setting the lens all the way to infinity, somehow the the focusing screen split image can never get in-line, it still shows a very minor split not matter how hard i try to focus back and forth.
Can this issue be an issue of faulty focusing screen (Acute Matte D) ? or something else.
Many Thanks for your advise.

I might be wrong, but I've shot with both a standard screen and an acute matte d with the same issue at infinity (not getting them completely aligned), and have not had any issues with subjects that are really far away.
For me, I think focusing accuracy is more critical with distances between 1 - 5m when wide open, because that's what I usually shoot at, and likewise have experienced no issues.
Hi Mykelism,
Thanks for the advise and help.
I received smiliar opinions when I went around to ask yesterday and was told this is a common case when using the "Acute Matte D", which will not affect outcome of the image, even though 100% alignment was not obtain.
Thanks

Looks more like a calibration problem on the camera.
A lens at infinity should have the image fall perfectly on the film plane .
If the screens do not give perfect alignment then it is a mirror problem .
The mirror is supposed to deflect at 45 degrees up the focus hood through the focus screen for viewing and aid lens focus.
Better to have the camera checked .
