Can anybody tell me whether the 1-8 screen is comparable to, or even better than, the 2-4 screen in terms of brightness and depth of field estimation? I assumed that, being newer, the 2-4 would be better but I've never tried a 1-8. Are there any problems with using the 1-8 with standard or wide-angle objectives. Does the centre circle on the 1-8 correspond to the spot metering area of OM-3s and -4s?
Cheers,
Duncan.
