Christian, An easy question... all three of my LXs wear a beattie Intencreen, catalog #82413. This is the model with grid, horizontal split image, and a matte ring around the split image. Because the screen is so bright, even the split image works fine up to 300mm. When doing macro work, I focus with the matte ring.
I own five other screens but I have not used any of them for over six years. This single screen provides a much brighter view, and maximum flexibility.
