Remember that on older OM cameras, ie. OM-1 & OM-2, it will upset the
TTL meter reading displayed in the viewfinder if you use these brighter
screens.  The meter of the OM-4 and the OM-2s sits on the 'film side' of
the screen and so don't care how dull or bright the screen is.  The OM-1
and the viewfinder info and manual meter of the OM-2 sit on the 'viewing
side' of the screen and are significantly affected by the screen
brightness.  In the OM-1 this is easy to compensate for as an
'effective' film speed change for the meter, but on the OM-2 it means
the manual and auto meters give significantly different results.
