manfred_nehab Posted January 12, 1998 Share Posted January 12, 1998 I am looking for a better focus screen then the standard ones of the Rollei SL66E. I have quite a good experience with BOSSCREEN for HORSEMAN VHR. What can be recommended (preferring availability in Europe)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_haney Posted March 7, 1998 Share Posted March 7, 1998 I am currently in the process of buying a screen for my SL66. So far I have found that B&H Photo in New York has them. Check their web site at www.bhphotovideo.com. <p> Beattie also makes their brighter screens. I have their number at work, let me know if you need it. The all matte "intenscreen" goes for $149.00 US. Supposedly you can get it cheaper from authorized dealers. I'm going through Calumet in Bensenville IL. <p> Hadley Chamberlain in Newport Beach California is an excellent source of all bits and peices for the Rollei SL66 systems. <p> James Haney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_lakey Posted April 20, 1998 Share Posted April 20, 1998 Brightscreen offers a wide variety of screens for Rollei and all other cameras. You can see the on line catalog at the web site www.brightscreen.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennart_estrvm Posted August 28, 1998 Share Posted August 28, 1998 Check out Intenscreen. Maybe they have focus screens for Rollei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_haney1 Posted November 1, 1998 Share Posted November 1, 1998 I finally did buy the intenscreen for my SL66 and boy, did it make a difference. Focusing with the 5.6 120 S Planar was suddenly like using the 80mm 2.8! And the 80mm is now amazingly bright. I had Beattie make me one with absolutely no lines or focusing aids so I could use it for close-up work without dealing with all of the subsequent problems you get with split screens going black and the sort. <p> I must say I really prefer the camera now to the old screen. I even think my compositions are improved without the damn split prism in the center of the screen distracting me. And if anything my focus has been better without the "focusing aid." <p> James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
