Not much people care, may be they use the 2-series screen on the 3,4
and 4Ti only. I will not bother with the 2-series screen on my 1 and
2, since I mainly use the 4 and 4Ti. It is trouble enough for the
light entering the viewfinder of 1 and 2 that affect the meter
reading, just too much for a F4 zoom lens and even a F2.8 fix. It is a
problem even with the 2's auto exposure, sometimes I need the meter
reading to judge whether I can make a hand holding shoot with a long
lens. I'm a glasses wearer, the eye cup didn't help.
