Does anyone have any experience with the various "bright" screens for the F4. Ive' heard that Beattie, Maxwell, 20/20 and others make these screens but I was wondering how much brighter and useful they are relative to the Nikon E (grid screen). On backpacking trips, I'm using some of the slower lens (24-120/3.5-5.6 and 75-300/4.5-5.6 and also adding the DR-3 right angle finder (which drops another stop or so of light) so my viewfinder is getting pretty dark and difficult to focus in low light situations. I've heard that these screens are brighter in low light but that in normal sunlight have some strange problems like grainy appearance. Any comments/suggestions?
