Bronica SQ screen

[brian steinberger]

I just bought a used Bronica SQ-A and the camera works great, but the screen is the original and its scratched and dim.

Any recommendations for a new brighter screen. I found this Beattie on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/BEATTIE-FOR-BRONICA-6X6-SQ-SQ-A-SQ-AI-FOCUSING-SCREEN_W0QQitemZ360189180937QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFilm_Cameras?hash=item53dcf2bc09&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

It looks nice. What do you guys think?

It's hard to find a good quality view screen for obsolete cameras new, almost impossible used! This looks like a nice one so if the one you have bothers you, by all means get another - anything to improve your photography is worth it !

Will the Beattie screen be a huge improvement over simply getting a new Bronica screen? I can get a new Bronica screen for half the price of the Beattie.

Brian,

I have a SQb with the Beattie screen and it is significantly brighter than the stock screen. I beleive the datasheet said 2 stops.
