Maxwell screen on a Chamonix 45N-1

[Neil Smith]

Can anybody give their experience of using a Maxwell screen on the Chamonix 45N-1. I would be interested to here what people thought, as regards to improving focus with wide lenses, brightness and any other thoughts they have.

Neil,

I have had no problems with a Maxwell screen on my 45N-1. The gg side faces the lens. No problem focusing my 58XL - bright and contrasty, but notice it is not as bright for my 300M Nikkor.

Nope, works very very well. Much brighter and easier to focus.

just curious....how much does it cost? I'm considering one for my Tachihara

Hi Mark

While researching the screens I spoke to a photographer here in the UK who kindly forwarded the email he had been sent from Bill Maxwell, the price quoted was $295 for the HI-LUX Brilliant Matte 4.7 focus screen and $395 for the HI-LUX Ultra Brilliant Matte 4.7 focus screen, but those prices were for a Chamonix 45N-1.
