I never tried that screen but from its description I'd venture to say it
falls to the far side of the Beattie 82400 in terms of its matte
texture/brightness. So, in ascending order:
1-4
1-4n
2-4
82400
1-8
By the way, I had a typo earlier. My daughter's camera has the 1-3, not the
1-4.

All this talk of 1-4, 2-4 and Beattie -- does anyone use the 1-8???
I have it on my OM-1 from a long time ago when I thought I wanted
to do Astrophotography My eyes are still good enough (mainly have
problems with near focus -- need reading glasses) that I can focus
with it. I guess its like the 1-4 except suited for high f-ratio lenses
like you would normally get using a telescope (F11 or worse).
Anyone else use this screen??
