Yes it does. As I recall, the affect is a function of the focal length of the
lens, too. Theer was some discussion about this in the past. Check the
archives (probably have to go back 6 months to a year).
The 2 screens are much better than the 1-12, IMO. Although the 1-12 doesn't
affect the meter reading (according to Oly lit), but you don't see depth of
field affects, and they are hard to focus unless you get used to using the
crosshairs, which I still find difficult, probably because I don't use the
1-12 enough. Does anyone know why the 1-12 is the only clear field screen
that doesn't affect the meter on the old OM's?
Hope this helps,
