I managed to fix my ancient preproduction Phaseone P45+ digiback for V-mount which broke about a decade ago and I never got it repaired until now. It was just a smoked DC/DC converter which I could bypass with an auxiliary battery pack with its own converter, injecting power through the firewire port.

I went for a photo walk in the city and I liked. the results. I had almost forgotten how much I loved the Planar T* 80mm f/2.8. I also am glad I held onto my old Hasselblad 501cm. But I am getting old, and in the decade since I last used this camera, my vision has decayed a bit and I now think I need to find a pentaprism viewfinder for it with a diopter.

Thanks for the tips.

Slim pickings at the downtown 2nd hand camera stores (We still have a few of those!)

I found a pretty good condition NC-2 for $50 with just cosmetic defects. I've ordered a split-prism focusing screen from an eBay seller, and a diopter for the NC-2. In hindsight I should maybe have hunted for the PM-5 since it has the flash shoe on top and I could use it with my godox wireless flash transmitter.
