david_chilvers Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I can`t seem to find my original post asking questions on focus screens, Anyway! I purchased a brightscreen 20/20 with diagonal split and microprism from KEH and it has transformed my ETRSi. Never in any camera have I seen such a bright and crisp snap in and out of the focussed point( that is with the 75 lens.) It just starts to go off with the 40 F4 but still a vast improvement over the standard mat screen. Just thought I`d share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bw Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 David, How much did you pay for that screen and what condition was it listed as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_chilvers Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Brett I paid $115, not sure now what condition it was listed at(somewhere around the middle condition I think)there are a few marks but nothing to get angry about.

bw Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Thanks, David. I having been looking into getting a brighter screen for my ETRSi. Do you have to adjust your Metered prism as a result of this greater amount of light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_chilvers Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 Brett Yes you do have to adjust the + or - or you can do it through the film speed. I find because the prism on the broni is not quite as precise as some I do it by getting my Canon 35mm on spot and hold the two screens in front of the lens and seeing how different the readings are.
