Maxwell Hi-Lux viewing screens - any feedback?

[cmweston]

Hi

Has anyone used or had experience of the Maxwell Hi-Lux viewing screens for 4x5 field cameras?

I'm working on a project photographing in very low light and need something brighter than the standard screen on my Ebony.

Thanks

Search this site for "Maxwell". It's been discussed ad nauseum.

Indeed-I just got one for a 4x5 arca-noticeable improvement with reflex viewer

Got one for my Shen-Hao, and I love it. Very bright compared to the Shen-Hao screen.

I swear by mine, on my Norma. I have them also in my Rolleiflexes. Essential.

Be careful. It could be much more expensive than you think at this point. I missed a sand bag on the gg in a set up by the wheel of a car. My mentor saw it on his 8x10. I bought the Maxwell, but couldn't forget that telvision set like view on the 8x10. Bought the 8x10. That led to the 7x17. Did I mention the lenses, film and holders? Stop before you follow the rest of us into the GAS hole.

Bill claims he won't go bigger than 8x10 with his screens. He's done it before but says it's too non standard to make a profit on.

Have you tried a Satin Snow? They are great in low light conditions.
