Before you go and buy another Rollei screen, consider a Maxwell HI-Lux. IMO they are the best. Bill Maxwell offers a split prism screen with grid. I have one in my T. Wonderful screen. The only question I have is about the metering. Where is the FX meter located? Would a different screen affect the metering as it does in SLRs?
