I found the Brightscreen web site ( www.brightscreen.com ) and became
curious. I haven't seen anything on their web site that would leave me to
believe that they're any brighter than an Oly 2-x or Beattie screen, but
they sure are more expensive: $130 "on special". They do offer a lot of
models and fit a lot of cameras, including medium format, and they offer a
lot of custom patterns. These don't interest me. As long as they have an
OM model. I have a Beattie that I've had for years, and have always been
pleased. Hopefully someone will comment on them, otherwise, I'll have to
ask on rec.photo or somewhere else.
