Always wondered if the 1-13 screen in an OM4 provded more out-of-focus
clues than a 2-series screen. Would be interesting to see with a say
F1.2 lens. It would not be a quick or easy experiment. Rachel at
Katzeye has always said that any treatment to increase brightness even
their well regarded Optibirght will reduce focus contrast--sometimes
an OK compromise with the proper screen to start with. There is much
difference between OM screens and DSLR's which are optimized for
different functions but the question remains. Perhaps the 1-13 to 2-13
comparison is attempting to discern an A+ from an A++, but I've never
seen any comments on that or few negative comments on the 2-series
screen---cept the judging of bokeh is more difficult. (AG-comments in
archives and seems true enough to me)

To expound on these two points: I could very easily manually focus any
lens
in the OM bodies in difficult and poor lighting conditions. Autofocus
was
about the same speed, but not nearly as accurate. Manually focusing a
lens
in an AF camera is almost a lost cause in comparison to the OM body with
2-13 screen.
