The earlier Exakta waist level finders (as yours appears to be) have a solid block of glass, rather than an interchangeable screen. I think some later waist level finders have interchangeable screens, though. The interchangeable screens of that type are held in by spring pressure/friction, and can be easily pulled out to swap them.

You're right, it's a solid block of glass.
Will this one work?
Thanks!

Here is one of the later waist level finders with interchangeable screens of that type.
Note the relatively thin screen, and the indentations on the bottom so your fingertips can grasp the screen to remove it.
Now I see what you mean. I guess I have to get another waist level VF.
Thanks again!

The prism finders will accommodate the split-image screens, too. The later waist level finders are cosmetically designed to match the newer cameras with the flat-top (non-arched) nameplate, but I believe they will still fit on the older ones.

Got it! Only the H3 version WLVF can accept RF/split image screens.
Thanks so much!
