I use 2-13 screen in OM4ti, and it's owesome. I would love to have one in my OM1 as well - does anybody here use 2-13 screen in OM1? Can it be fitted, phisycally, and how it would affect metering?

JSU, thanks! Btw, your number of posts is... amazing 
Is metering error linear and consistent for different focal lengths/iso settings?

I have one in my OM-4Ti - it's okay, I expected it to be better.

minolta screens were always state-of-the-art - Hasselblad accute-mate screens I believe were produced by minolta, and independent bright-screen makers never produced their screens for minolta cameras since they could not improve minolta screens in any significant way.

sleepyhead, this winter I was twice to København, lovely city even in the winter.
Many places to hang out after work, I especially liked Tango Y Vinos

Igor, if you're coming here again sometime, send me a PM and perhaps we can meet up.

Nah -- the number of posts is wrong -- it's off by three.

I use 2-13 screens in all my OM-4T bodies. I simply cannot get good focus in low light with the standard 1-13 screen, its just too dim. I get perfect results in very dim light using the 2-13. They're rare and expensive and worth it.

I use a 2-4 screen in my OM-2n. It's actually too bright, it flares and loses contrast too easily and is hard to see when the object is in focus. I'm replacing it with a 1-4N screen, which is the best (in my opinion) of the 1 series screens, and best screen available for the OM-1/2. The 2-4 will go in my OM-2S.

2-4 and 2-13 can be used in OM-1 through 2N. You have to shave off half the tab (on the short side) to get it to fit. It will cause a 2/3rd stop meter error causing underexposure. A slight error (1/4 to 1/2 stop) creeps in with wide angle and telephoto lenses. John

I have one OM4Ti with 2-13 and one OM4 with the standard 1-13.
I find the 1-13 bright enough for most applications, and when focussing on the matte surface, the image just pops in focus.
The 2-13 is even brighter, but when using the matte area, it is less obvious when the image is in focus.
Therefore I prefer the 1-13 for daylight use.
