Aaron,
could you go into detail about the process of making your fresnel overlay?
My 2,8D screen is also dim and I would like to improve it.
Regards,

The finder in mine is quite dim. I improvised a fresnel overlay from a
credit-card-sized magnifier which improves brightness a great deal.
It's cheap and just lays flat on the ground glass - no installation
required.
The bokeh in the corners can be a little . . . strange. You may see
what I mean when you process your negatives. I tend to try to either
shoot with maximum depth of field or plan to crop the corners out when
using this camera.
Congratulations on your purchase and best regards,
Aaron
