I bought the Olympus 1.8 screen but I wish I would have got the Beeatie (sp?)
instascreen.  I have looked through one and it is brighter than the Oly 1-8.
But I have found that neither are good enough by them self's to achieve good
focus with any regularity.  I should be getting my Taurus Tracker any day now
and it has built in eyepiece focusing for photography.  There are a couple of
other focus aids available for the OM1 also but I have not used them.
