Ken, thanks for the great info. Like I said before, I find that the
1-4N screen is the best for the OM-1/OM-2 series. Admittedly I've
only used the 1-4, 2-4, 1-10 and 1-13 screens, but the 1-4N screen has
a perfect balance between brightness and contrast in my OM-1n.
As for the 2-4 screen in my OM-2n, I agree with Ken, it can be
difficult to focus wide angle lenses sometimes. Certainly slower than
my OM-1n with 1-4N screen.
Now Dawid has my curiousity piqued--I really would like to try out an
OM-3T just to see what all the fuss is about the viewfinder.
