Hi there Crew. Hope all are well! :)

with my newly attained 4Ti (2 hand with brand new circuitory and a thourough 
CLA) I interestingly acquired a Screen 12.

>From my initial observation, it looked like a screen for Macrophotography - 
>generally because it looked like it magnified and the circular patterns 
>surrounding the 'target' central to the screen for 'easier' focusing. 

I hooked up some extension tubes, some magnifying filters ( 4 x ) and my 50 
f3.5 and WOW - focusing is so much easier than the standard screen 13!

   Is there any tips I should know about when using this screen for MACRO work 
(e.g., exposure changes? etc)

Secondly, I also used my 300 4.5 and a 2x converter and the Screen 12 worked a 
treat for focusing. Tack sharp. Please note I havnt used film yet due to my 
inexperience and lack of knowledge about the screen. 

   Can this screen be used specifically for telephotography as well as macro?
   If yes, is there any tips I should know about when using this screen for 
TELEPHOTO work (e.g., exposure changes? etc)

I thank all those that are willing to respond to my Qs.

Cheers,

Damo
