Having disturbed the list with my earlier email in search of a Rolleigrid, I
thought I should provide an update. I found my old Rolleigrid yesterday and
installed it in my 2.8C. Now, I also have a Maxwell screen in my 3.5E, so,
at last, I am able to compare the two side-by-side.
My initial impressions give the nod to the Rolleigrid. It is not quite as
bright as the Maxwell screen, but it is plenty bright to compose with, all the
way out to the corners. To my surprise, I found it a bit easier to focus the
2.8C with the Rolleigrid, compared to focusing the 3.5E with the Maxwell
screen. I do not mean to speak unkindly of the Maxwell screen -- I have used
it
for many years in my 3.5E and think highly of it, and I use a Maxwell screen
in my view camera. But at first glance I do prefer the Rolleigrid.
