Also, can the mirror lock-up lever on a 503CW still be used with the winder in place? Thanks.

The fee is $50, but some technicans will only use the Acutte-Matte screen as the replacement screen. Hasselblad USA will do for you and only with the Acutte-Matte screen. I had it done on my 500C when I sent it in for an overhaul. I use the split image grid Acutte-Matte screen in it. The screen replacement requires an adjustment (probably shims) the body for maximum sharpness. You can also use either the newer Beattie screens, Maxwell screens, and also the BrightScreen. Any one of these screens are definitely a BIG IMPROVEMENT over the original screen.

I'll detail how I did it, explain a possible = problem, and offer an alternative. The alternative is to get one of those external wind-up timers that screws = into the cable release socket. They work just fine and cost about $10 to = $20. Porter's Camera has them, as well as any decent camera store. There = are some minor complextities, such as lens removal and/or timer removal = may be a two-step process. Since I've moved to the later CF lenses, this = is how I take my family party groups with my 50CF and 80CF. The way the timer works, roughly recalled, is that you first wind the self = timer on the lens. Then you lock up the mirror using some combination of = the mirror lock-up control on the side of the body and the T/O lever just = around the shutter release. Then, you start the timer and get into the = picture or what have you. The problem may be that the 501c/m may lack = this T/O item around the shutter release, possibly making the timer in the = C lens useless. Having made this somewhat vague response to your query, = you can be sure that someone wil correct and improve on my response. I'm = certain your lens timer will work with a 500C or 500CM.
