Aram,

Now that you mention it, I have a plus 3 diopter attached to mine. I could
even use more plus, but this seems to get the job done.  Any R screen above
R4 and below R8 should be the same, because they are all called
just "R"  screens (I think).
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Julian

Julian.

No I haven't.  Part of the problem is also that a slight diopter adjustment
would really help, and the R8 does give me that option built in.  Maybe I
should look around for a good deal on an R6 screen.  It works just fine and
I usually get very good shots with it, though it takes more time focusing
than my R8, especially with the macro work that I like.
