There seems to be a lot of interest in a 2-10 screen, does anyone from
Olympus read these e-mails?
A quick comment on the 2-4 fall off with the 300mm, with or without 1.4x
TC. (Again I should emphasise that it is only my observation and I could
well be wrong.)
I probably didn't make it really clear, but it is only noticeable in dim
light, and it is only very slight (no where near as bad as the fall off
with the Beattie and very wide angles).
It was probably nitpicking, but I wanted to present fairly the good and bad
points of each screen as I had found them.

I would be in for a 2-10
I must say that I had not noticed any fall off in the corners using a 2-4,
4Ti and
the 300mm f.5 - with or without 1.4x TC.
