Another thread asking questions about focus screens!
I wonder if anyone has tried the "D" red dot screen?
I have one that came with my F3 and it's a bit dark and has a vignette. Is that normal?
With a 50mm 1.8 + 28-85mm 3.5 + 75-150mm 3.5 the view stays about the same.

If anyone has experience and photos with the "D"?
It would be useful to see photos of other focus screens in action to get a sense of what will be big bright and most useable in general photos. A resource to get an actual look at how these screens appear, instead of the useful (but static graphic) MIR website on focus screens

I've attached a photo of how the screen looks on the F3 I have...

The D is the matte screen, yes, it will vignette with many lenses. I have it.
