Bill was reluctant to disclose his method of brightening the screens, but the results were nothing short of amazing. We had a few Leica R (pre-R8) and Canon EOS screens treated for our Leica R6/R6.2 and EOS RT, as these two cameras suffered from a relatively dim viewfinder with their standard screen. Cheers, Joseph
