One thing I have noticed with the Beattie as compared to the 2-series Zuiko
screens is that the Beattie is slightly "rougher" in terms of its
manufacturing. This shows up as inconsistent edges in the split-image central
focusing area, for example. If I had to do it over again, I'd get a 2-series
screen. (But the Beattie's still nice and bright!)
