Someone in the last month or two posted a link showing a larger focus screen
being cut to fit an E-Camera. I believe that was the same link that showed
the mechanism holding the screen in place on the E-300. IIRC the E-300 has a
tab on two sides whereas the E-1 has a single tab. It looked like the E-300
screen could be replaced by those with good eyes, a reasonably clean work
area, and a lot of patience.
A couple people on the list (perhaps C.H.Ling being one) have adapted other
mfg screens to OM cameras. I don't remember if it was M*nolta or C*non but I
believe one of them had a split image screen that didn't darken at higher f
stops.

A good focusing screen interests me a lot. I want to use my e 500 on my
Olympus microscope and the original equipment screen just won't be
satisfactory even with a Varimagni. I'm considering getting an e-1 body
since it has interchangeable screens and using it. The resolution
should be adequate, at least the surgeons won't notice the difference.
Any comments?
