A lot of the more reputable posters on the MF forums overseas seem to recommend the Maxwell HI-LUX screen over the Beatties. I thought about getting one myself for my MF camera, but never got around to it.

Received my hi-lux Maxwell screen last night.. very very bright, very impressive, look like brighter than the latest hassy bright screen. Imagine a piece of normal plastic worth 1SG$ with 300x of value add...

Anybody with the Beattie or Satin screen wanna meet up for kopi... despite all those discussions in the forumn, let's see for ourself which is the better screen, we can then make better recommendations for those who come after us? or in case i need a new screen for my LF.. hahaa.

PM or SMS me at 92321816.

Sounds interesting. I have one Beattie bought from Photographix on a 2.8E. Super bright and super easy to focus.

PM me for a coffee??
