OK, I'll come out of the closet too.  I've had one of these in my OM-4 for
almost 2 years now.  Same reason and it has really helped!

For Larry's benefit the "2" series screens are brighter (finer matte?)
*but* they only fit the {OM-2[S,sp], 3[ti], 4[T,ti]}.  The wider tab can be
modified (very carefully) to fit the 1/1n and 2/2n, but will throw the
metering off.  On the 2 and 2n in auto mode the camera will still properly
expose, but it won't be at the shutter speed the metering shows in the
veiwfinder.  The 2-13 has the split rangefinder spot and microprism ring
like the standard 1-13 screen.
