The microprism/split-image rangefinder in the center is useless, and the groundglass is a bit hard to see for my old/tired eyes... So I have three questions: [1] Should I be using one of the other 4 replacement screens and if so, which one? To save everyone rushing to look these up, these are #14304 (uniform groundglass), #14305 (microprism screen), #14306 (uniform groundglass w/grid) and #14307 (clearglass w/crosslines). [2] Where might I shop for a used one? and [3] What might I expect to pay for it? As usual, many thanks for any and all advice. Cheers! - ---------- David Young | Many hands make light work.
