John's work is excellent. The grid he imposes on the focus screen divides
the view area into nine (9) symmetrical rectangular areas, with the focus
circle situated exactly at the center of the middle rectangle. The lines
appear as distinct yet unobtrusive thin black lines over the focus screen
that divide the view area into compositional areas or zones.
This approach works quite well. The photographer at all times has ready
reference points for relational distance and for both level and plumb
(vis-a-vis your relative camera position), while at the same time he is
afforded a sort of overview of his photographic canvas--in terms of subject
composition--upon which he intends to "paint" his next picture.
It's simple, it's elegant, it works. Try it!

I did a 1-13 and Beattie 82400 (all matte, w/circle) for Tris Schuler, a
bunch of 1-1s for myself back in the 80s, and a 1-4 for another person. A
did a 2-4 which was in my OM-2.
I was originally not gunna doit but had many requests. I know Barry Bean
wanted atleast one but I have not heard from him.
