Called up the camera shop. It was a Minolta X-700.
I haven't done a direct comparison, but it seems no less bright than
the stock -DS screen. It could even be brighter (and would explain the
propensity for the camera to underexpose a bit)
I know it doesn't make any sense, but a couple messages I've read have stated
that the Katz-Eye screen (which DOES appear brighter in the viewfinder)
actually makes the camera OVER expose. If that's the case, it would indicate
that your replacement screen is, in fact, a shade darker.
I repeat again that I don't know why a brighter screen would cause
overexposure... Just saying what I've read.
I could see how the matte is brighter, but the prism in the center
redirects light away from the center (spot) measurement cell. It's gotta
be something like that, because it doesn't make sense to have a brighter
screen make the camera overexpose.
