Welcome, Mohamed. Many users like the SE or SG screens for macro use with the MX. The two screens are the same except for the added grid lines on the SG. I haven't had to obtain MX screens lately myself, but I think that they might be a little harder to locate than LX screens. In any event, you could substitute LX screens for the MX screens, if you are willing to compensate with the ASA dial (or have your meter recalibrated), since the LX screens are brighter.
