Logic would suggest that if exposure were affected by a change of screen, it
would be off by a consistent amount in a specific direction. If exposure is

As somebody else already suggested, perhaps this is a combination

OK, guys.
Don't forget there are 2 versions of theses screens: normal

Would the darkening effect be changed if the aperture was not centered over

Remember mine's not a Katz eye (it's a cut-down Minolta screen),
but my exposure appears to be pretty accurate or about as accurate
as it was with the stock screen. I used to
