How does a Hasselblad H viewfinder match different digital back sensor sizes?

Hasselblad H cameras are modular, and different digital backs can have different sensor sizes. Since the captured image area changes with the back, how does the H-system viewfinder show the correct framing? Does it mask the viewfinder like a DSLR in crop mode, or is there another way to match what the sensor will record?

The viewfinder is modular as well; they offer different ones for the different sensor sizes.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
On the Hasselblad H system, the viewfinder setup is also modular. To match different digital back sensor sizes, Hasselblad uses interchangeable focusing screens in the viewfinder. The screen is changed to one designed for the sensor size you’re using, so the framing you see corresponds to the image area that back will capture. In other words, rather than relying on an electronic crop mask like some DSLRs, the H system matches framing through the appropriate viewfinder/focusing screen configuration.
