Hi Michiel,

I think that the Hilux Screen is from Maxwell and it is very expensive, I 
have read good reviews for the Rick Oleson Screens, I saw one from a friend 
installed on a Rolleiflex and it is a great improvement, at least for my 
Rolleifex ?E?, if you have other informations about screens I would 
appreciate your opinion, the only thing I?ve heart is that many announced 
screens in e-Bay are not enought good and the Oleson one is a good one, this 
is the information I?ve read:

Cheers

> Looks really good. Don't think you need anew screen but they are enjoyable.
> I have a Hi-lux screen on my 3,5f and really enjoy it.
> I also have the Rolleinars to get a bit closer, like those too.
