Hi all,
I'm from Sydney and new to the list. My first question. I'm
considering replacing the focusing screen in my R6.2 because I do not
like split images and would prefer just ground glass or a central
spot of microprisms. I would like to know what experience people have
had with the so-called bright screen focusing screens, either from
beattie (approx $100USD -

REG/Beattie_82420_Intenscreen_for_Leica_R4_.html ) or the
Brightscreen branded ones ( approx $200USD - http://
www.brightscreen.com/styles.html )
I've found the R6.2 screen to be a little darker than usual because
of the split to the meter, but I get by - I'm young and my eyes are
still good. Having said that, brighter/clearer would be welcome.
I'd appreciate any recommendations or warnings you might have.
Jon
HI Jon!
I had my existing screens treated by Bill Maxwell - price was
reasonable (about $100 ea.) and it made a noticeable difference.
Sorry for the late reply!
Oh ... and, uh, Welcome to the zoo!
