Olympus 2-13.  The split image works best for my somewhat aged eyes.  Bill

Hi  All,

What would you consider the best focusing screen (for  focusing  
accuracy on the matte area, especially
towards the edges  of the frame) ? Especially with the 50mm f/1.4,  
although my other  two most-used lenses
is the 24/2.0 and 90/2.0 macro.

The standard  prism/microprism/matte screen is OK, but it's not great  
on the matte  area, I am used to much
more precise Canon 1-series matte focusing screens  (surely matte- 
screen technology has evolved since
the seventies). I am  having a hard time seeing the 'sharp' plane of  
focus towards the  edges of the screen.

If it doesn't mess up the light-meter reading, all  the better,  
although I do use incident metering 90%
of the time  in anyway, so it's no big deal. Should I be looking  
Olympus, or are  other screens like
Beattie Intenscreen better?

thanks for any  advice,
Dawid
