Does anyone here have a Beattie intenscreen for their Bronica SQA ?
I am curious to know if there are any identification marks on them to tell them apart from a standard screen. I have just got hold of a screen with a camera and it is definitely far brighter and easier to focus then the standard one. The main difference I can see on the screen is that the offset location tab ( bottom of screen ) is slightly bigger and differently shaped then the standard screen.
I had a Brightscreen before and although it was brighter it had heavy frame lines that put me off. Also it never sat correctly in the camera as it seemed to be manufactured slightly smaller then the standard one so I got rid of it. It always seemed to fit at a slight angle rather then purely flat, not much good for a focusing screen!
The one I just got fits perfectly so I don't think it's a Brightscreen and have a feeling its a Beattie so just trying to confirm.
