Crosshair is just some fine lines engraved onto the screen. They are great for composition. I prefer this screen personally. The newer screens for LX are pretty rare, and even if you could found them, they might cost much more than you would like to pay for. I think your best chance is to get the SE-20. There have been many new LX screens for sale on eBay. I have the SE-25 which causes vignetting on MX so I would not recommend.
