Yes, if you're going to a brighter screen (Series 2 or Beattie) then meter
recalibration or fiddling with the ASA setting is required.

| Hi Albert,
| Due to Cds cells are into the
| pentaprism, light must pass through this
| screen to be metered. If you want a brighter
| screen, I think you´ll have to change voltage
| in order to compensate it? But I think you
| should consider to speak with the master.
