Jason;
The 2 series are the bright screens. There are only 2 of them, the -4
and the -13.
In the 1 series, the 1-10 has the grid. I't a great screen, I've used
it for years. Course, I wish there were a 2-10. I know, there is a
Beattie with a grid. Have had a regular Beattie for years and just
never really liked it for some reason. Maybe I'll try again.
But for no grid, the 2-4 and 2-13 are great, super bright, work fine in
an OM-4. Price? Check zuiko.com, Olympusguy and B&H.
