It's been quite sometime since I needed any up to date viewing screens for either MF or LF. Both my cameras have been changed out years ago and work just fine. However, as my LF has seen a lot of use and I've thoughts of window shopping for an updated camera unit. It then came to mind to see if there are any companies still supplying brighter viewing screens or Fresnel. My MF camera viewing screen is after market and the LF is an OEM unit.

So, are there any aftermarket order by product type companies still around that are easy to order from? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

The Canham DLC screen is a brightscreen/fresnel combo, like the Maxwell ones. (likely made by the same place that makes them for maxwell)

No doubt the Maxwell screens are outstanding. I thought I would mention the Yanke Super Bright screen I bought on eBay and installed in a Linhof 4x5 in place of the rather dim OE glass. It is bright and easy to focus, about $100.
