Beattie says they do not make an Intenscreen for this model - anybody know of another manufacturer of Fresnel and / or split-image screens? I told Beattie I'd buy a larger screen and cut it down at my own risk, but they don't seem to be interested in selling me one. Thanks, C. Goff ________ herbal vaporizers | ||

Hmmm. And it doesn't have a fresnel now? I ask because I thought they came with fresnels. At any rate, mine has one. OTOH, my 2x3 Pacemaker Speed didn't have one until I lucked into an aftermarket 2x3 fresnel at a camera show (= flea market). You may have to search hard. | ||

I'm not happy with him, but Stephen A. Shuart (sorry, don't have his site's URL ready to hand, you'll have to do a search) stocks them. He also offers them from time to time on eBay. | ||

I phoned Beattie in the UK yesterday and they confirm that the still do a screen to fit the Century. Unfortunately, it costs £180 (about US$270) new!

I also found some Pocket Magnifyers that work as a nice fresnel(try Office Max). They are a little course (less lines per mm) than the original but seem to work. | ||
