yeah, it's very bright. in fact, it appears to have the same brightness
as if i'm not looking through the camera at all. but, i stopped using
it after a ruined a roll of film because i forgot to compensate for the
added brightness while in manual mode on my om2n. i use a 1-4n screen
in both cameras now and am very happy with them, in spite of the dimmer
view. i find that the split rangefinder and microprism interfer with
composition too much and i'd rather just determine focus by looking at
the ground glass. i have a damaged 2-13 screen that will work ok if you
want it for the cost of shipping.

i thought they were backordered anyway?
Be seeing you.
