[OM] Bright focus screens

Hello, all

I would also be very interested in an answer to Hans' question, since I am
planning on purchasing a couple of new focus screens and have to decide between
2-4s and Beattie screens.

I will be using them on OM-2N bodies, but have decided not to be deterred
by the metering issue since several posters have indicated that it amounts to 
half a stop or less, and besides I use mostly automatic mode.

So can anyone help me out? Someone asked this question a couple of months ago 
to no response. I am starting to think that nobody knows? Is such a thing
possible on the awe-inspiring Olympus list, whose members produce work of the
quality displayed by the Olympus Gallery Trust?

PS Garth, I couldn't agree more with your comments about Greg L's pictures. I
can't wait to find out what he used. (lens, film, etc)
But don't let him stop you from posting your work!
