Who's making aftermarket focusing screens for TLRs these days?

[Melvin J Bramley]

Just got a notice and tracking number from eTone. Looks like mine might be coming from China.

I ordered two, one each for a Rolleiflex and a Minolta autocord.
They are being shipped from China.

You can get them directly on Aliexpress.
I ordered a few things from eTone before just to check the quality of what they make and I must say I was happily surprised.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how you like their screens.

Two screens from e Tone arrived today.
I installed one in a Rolleiflex ( had to trim the sides) and i am so far pleased with the results.
The screen is considerably brighter than the Rolleiflex but I miss the frame lines.
I have another one to install in a Minolta Autocord.

Good to hear. Mine still hasn't gotten here yet, but should shortly since I think I ordered slightly before you.

I'm aware of the Olsen Brightscreens, but curious if there's anyone making screens out of glass these days.

Sadly, I missed out on buying a Maxwell screen for my C330f.

Are there any Chinese manufacturers who've stepped up?

Thanks!

My experience with the Chinese ones has been not great. They fit but are not all that bright. Get an Olsen FTW.

I miss the frame lines

When I got my Yashica A, I took out the screen to clean it (a bit too properly) and lost the frame lines that were printed on it (oops!).
So, I just took a ruler and a fine point sharpie to add them back.
And on my Burke & James, the grid lines were almost completely gone, so I took a scratchy tool and a ruler to "etch" them back in.

I must say that the sharpie is guaranteed to work perfect. And if you take a paint pen instead, you'll get really permanent results.
