I recently got a non Olympus grid type focussing screen in an OM 3 I picked
up off eBay. I thought it might be a Beattie Intenscreen but I just want to
make sure before I offer it to someone.
Looking though the viewfinder:
The screen has no markings on the tab at all. It has 5 vertical and 3
horizontal lines. There is a circle in the centre that does not have any
lines passing through it. In fact the ruled lines stop short of the circle.
On the right side of the frame the lines also stop a short distance short
of the edge of the frame.
It is quite bright and has a very distinctive out of focus stippled effect
when directed to a light. It has obvious Fresnel type optics when out of focus.
Is it a Beattie Intenscreen? Does anyone recognise this screen ? Who else
made screens like this? Is it possible that it is a custom made job?
Any help appreciated
