focus screens?

[Erik L]

what is the right focus screen for a minolta 600si

i want the S style but they come in boxes that say these
focusing screen 9 type s or SCREEN 70 type s ETC
i bought one, it apparantly is the 9? type s and the tab is in the wrong spot. :bang:

what is the correct one for my camera, the minolta website is confusing!

Darn... I used to own Minoltas but never the kind with interchangeable focusing screens.

Someone should come along with the right information soon. In the meanwhile, good luck! 🙂

Perhaps a little OT but have you checked to see if Beattie makes an Intenscreen for your model? I have one in my OM-1 and another in a Mamiya TLR and it is remarkable how much brighter they are than the OE screens. Worth the premium cost IMO.

minolta is known for thier bright screens, apparantly they made some for other companies.
is Beattie the pentaprisim? this sounds like a good option, mines blank save for the AF area indicator marks
