I've never worked with the microprism/split-image combination, but with
that brighter screen of the 2-13
I'm confident you'll love those compositional lines John renders--very
discreetly etched.
But why not just break down and buy an 82402 or 82404 (assuming you wish to
stick with the split image
format--I prefer a plain circle) and get a brighter view while you're at
it? It is impossible to have a too visible
view. <g>

Hi Tris:
I was thinking about sending my OM-1 off to John for a CLA, and having
an etched 2-13 screen fitted, but I wasn't sure if this was possible.
It seems to me that I could have John re-calibrate the meter for the
2-13, but then all of the "one" series screens would throw off the
metering.
Did you go for a one series or two series screen?
