Angel,
2-4 has a matte-only focus surface within the circle; 2-13 has both the
split prism finder and microprism ring.
They will work well with all your lenses, especially the zooms and slower
glass. The really fast glass can be a little too bright with these screens
on those wonderful bright sunny days you have there in Spain, but most of
the time I think they are a big help.
Whether you go with 2-4 or 2-13 comes down to individual preference on
focusing aids. I'm glad they make both because both are useful. I like the
2-4 primarily for macro and some portraiture. I don't like it with wides,
but I usually focus hyperfocally with wides. The rest of the time, and
particularly with normal-to-tele lenses I prefer the 2-13.
