I'm with Bob. The Beattie screens aren't that much brighter than the
Pentax originals. I didn't have to adjust exposure on the PZ1. But
manual focusing is a little better with the Beattie. The fresnel is a
bit "grittier", and of course it has the split image prism.

bought them used for almost nothing.

Subject: Re: MX screen in my istD - another question
I'm not familiar with the term Prism screen, is that what a
Beattie is? I used Pentax replacement "grid" screens to
assist in compositions & trying to keep level horizons. When
I last checked out Beattie screens years ago their main
advantage was a brighter viewfinder, but the exorbitant cost
(roughly twice the cost of the Pentax screen) excluded
further consideration.
