I have an R4 and a fairly new R8, both of which I really like. In the past few months, I've gotten quite interested in bird photography and bought a 400mm/5.6 Telyt on eBay. It's a fine lens, but I really need a plain groundglass focusing screen to use it effectively. Now for the questions: (1) Can anyone suggest a good store that might have R4 and/or R8 screens in stock? I've tried several with no luck. (2) Should I go for a plain screen or for one with grid lines? (3) Has anyone used the "Brightscreen" brand focusing screens and, if so, are they worth the extra money? and (4) Is a right angle finder available for the R4? If so, I'd appreciate knowing the Leica part number. Thanks all, George Nozicka
