I stand corrected regarding the grid screen. My knowledge was based on
reading the scant few references to be found online about it and its
installation. Thanks for the correct information Mark. I guess there is hope
for me as I will now try and get the blank standard to put my custom grid
on.
Fingers crossed (but breath not held!) for the E-5 to have user changeable
screens :) .

The FS-3 grid screen is an actual screen and not just an overlay. I just had
one installed in my E-3 and I received my old E-3 screen in return (complete
in an old OM style screen case :-). The original screen is completely blank
and nothing more than a matte screen. I'm sure Olympus could come up with a
screen that had some manual focusing aids on it if they wanted to.
