Congratulations Ingmar!
You're going to have fun.
I would not have thought that the 1-11 screen darkened with shorter focal
lengths, so my immediate reaction to your question was: is the stop-down
lever getting stuck? However, it would be worth your trying a 1-13 or 1-4
(which I use on my OM1N and OM4) to see how it is. The screens are very
cheap 2nd hand. I can let you have a 1-13 if you wish.
I should be interested to read what an expert thinks of the darkening problem.
