I don't think the 1-2 will be any brighter than the 1-13. The main difference
is that the focusing aid on the 1-2 darkens aqt a smaller aperture. A better
choice might be a 1-4, without the aid, and focus on the ground glass. You
could modify a 2 series screen to fit, but it will throw off your meter
indications in the finder (not the OTF exposure, though). The same comment
applies to the Beattie screens, I believe.
Hope this helps,
