Up until recently, I had been using the slower lenses zoom lenses with the LX (35-105 and 70-210). When I first got it and was surprised about the darkness of the viewfinder I bought a few new screens for it. The one currently in is a SA-21. I bought a couple of the new screens (SC-69 and SE-60) - imported all the way from Japan via Sunny Brighton. I'll give the plain one a try and see if it makes a difference.
