I agree Gary. I bought a 2-4 screen a week ago. Performed surgery on it
(actually cut the tab off accidently with only a bare minimum tag to hold
onto with tweezers) and installed it in my OM 2n. The focussing ease this
screen gives with my 21 f3.5, 300 4.5 (even with a 2x teleconverter!) is
just indescribable. With the faster lenses it is even better still. I am
wondering if the 2-13 is any better, but the very fine matte area of the 2-4
is absolutely awesome. I'm converted.
