Harry Fleenor is putting one on my 3.5E Xenotar, and Bill Maxwell himself installed one on my other 3.5E Xenotar. I will probably eventually have them put on my other Rolleis. For me, the bottom line was that the Rolleiflex can be difficult to focus in dim light. Having a bright screen with a split image certainly helps. But you want to put it on a Rollei 2.8E Planar with a scratched taking lens [gasp!!!]. I don't know if I'd install one on a beater Rollei. If you shoot mostly outdoors, you might be able to do without. I did notice that the Maxwell screen makes it easier for me to focus without the magnifying lens. I don't know that they are 6x brighter (that seems downright blinding).

Should I do it despite the $$$? Paul Ebel is working on my 2.8E and I thought perhaps I'd have him install a Maxwell screen while he has it. I hear they are phenominal, with something like 6x the brightness of the standard Rollei screen. The bad news, of course, is that they cost $150USD. So, should I do it? Are they worth it?
