I thought that the edge of the centre portion of the Fresnel lens on the screens would always be visible given finder view of the old full matt screen for the LX (SE-20). However the new full matt LX screen (SE-60W) shows no visible lens edge outline in the finder and it also employs a Fresnel lens, it's very nice to use.
