Have trouble focusing with the R8, however, and have ordered
nonsplitimage screen in hopes it will be as nice as the one in my SL. Am
a bit confused about this problem. One reason for timing of purchase is
that R3 is broken and away for service and will be anxious to more
thoroughly compare focus screens when it returns. Still, I always liked
the SL screen better and am happy to have choices now.
Hi Kent, I've always used the " all matte screen" in any of my Leica SLR's
because you can focus quickly while looking anywhere on the screen. And
working with tele's it's perfect.
Wide and super wides...... great!
Hi Kent!
I second what Ted said about the matte screen. I use the all matte screen
with grid divisions. I find the grid lines are not distracting... in fact,
they often aid as an anchor for focusing the eye on the screen. The etched
lines also aid in keeping horizons level at times!
I also own the microprism screen, which I was hoping would be more like the
original 'flex's all microprism center with clear surround, but it is an
all microprism center with a matte surround. I never use it, or the
standard screen which came with the camera.
You'll like the 'all matte', with or without grid-lines! :)
