Hi Karen, A projected grid would be nice, though it might be kind of distracting (and maybe a little blinding...).
I did some tests when I put in my grid screen, and I actually don't think you really lose any light, except perhaps in special situations. I tested using the cameras meter by putting one screen in at a time and switching the custom function back and forth while metering a set scene. I couldn't get it to give me any different readings regardless of which custom function I had set using CW metering. Maybe the error only comes in with certain lenses or with spot metering or something. I'm not sure, I just thought I would pass it along. You don't really have to switch the screen to test this either, just switch the custom function setting(IIRC it is CF 0).
