The 2-series screens will make you think you've got a whole new camera. Mine,
coupled with the 50mm F/1.2 Zuiko, damn near burns my optic nerve out. ;-)
The Beattie Intenscreens are about the same brightness, come in a wider range
of grid markings etc., but cost a bit more. In my experience, they also aren't
quite as finely finished as the Olympus screens.
