The Fresnel/Bright Screen question again...

[bulrich]

I've been doing a lot of 8x10 stuff at night and in pretty dim conditions.
I need a Fresnel or screen that will give me the brightest viewing I can get.
I know Maxwell screens are nice but pricey. Has anyone used their bright screen and high lux glass combo?
Others?

There are some reading fresnel lenses wich can be cut and adapted, they are much cheaper than the photography dedicated ones. If you buy one of this to cut, don't forget you must keep the center on his right place.
