<< I was wondering if anyone had recommendations concerning screens for
 low-light photography?  I have just bought an OM2SP, partly to take photos
 of bands in rather dark venues.  It currently has a 1-13 fitted. Which
 brighter screens can I use without adversely affecting the viewfinder
 exposure reading?  OTOH, if the really bright screens have a predictable
 amount of increased illumination, I could compensate for it by altering the
 asa setting.  Could I?  Lenses are likely to be 50/1.8, 100/2.8, possibly
 the 65-200/4. >>

You can use either of the two bright screens, either the 2-4, or 2-13 because
the OM2S has a semi-silvered mirror directed a portion of the light downward
to the metering cell at the bottom of the mirror box.  Thus there is no
difference in metering regardless of the type of screen used--hence "Lucky." I
would think that the spotmetering of the OM2S, some Fuji NHG 800, and the 2-13
screen would work well for club photography.
