Is there any way to brighten up the view from the OM-1n?
I know from reading the archives that the type 2 focus screens are
brighter, but they don't work (or at least my understanding is they
ruin the meter reading). So how can I get a brighter image in the
view finder?
Thanks,
Albert
The original Leicaflex used a clear focussing screen with just a
center microprism for focussing. It was very bright. I looked through
a used Nikon FM at a photo show that had a similar screen installed
and it was a knockout for brightness. Olympus makes a similar screen,
the 1-5 for normal and wide angle, or the 1-6 for normal and
telephoto. There is an 1-7 for slow super telephoto lenses. Olympus
characterizes it as super bright.
