Sorry, seems I missed that mail. One can't be too observant in this group.

Yes, Richard, the logic of this is that different focal lengths deliver
different images on the screen. Compare to the OM2000 which cannot handle
600mm+ teles because of it's (too) small focus screen.
This makes these screens totally useless for me, I regularly shoot with
200-300mm and up, even for static subjects.
Maybe this should go into the FAQ?

And are the Beattie screens also affected in the same manner?
