Default Mamiya TLR Screens

Hi, Anybody know how to get factory focusing screens for the Mamiya C330s?
I've found a few sites selling the Beattie screens, but I'd also like to
find the original type screens that came with the c330s. Thanks for your
help, Mike

They appear regularly on eBay.

**************************************
330S screen is different from the 330f and 330 'Professional'. Be wary.
C220f screens fit C330S bodies. C220 'Professional' does not. Just part
with the 149.00 for a Beattie split diagonal prism with grid lines. B&H or
Beattie web site. Beattie screens for the 330S rarely appear on feeBay.
MAC oem screens can be had, but really, what good are they??

Get a Maxwell screen and be done with it.

Do they make those with the parallax marks? I've seen some but they
didn't have them.

Are they really a big improvement over the Mamiya screens?

No parallax marks, but you can scribe your own (a scapel works really well,
but be careful!)

YES, huge, at least 2 stops brighter.

This should be no big deal then.

Thanks... I'll give it a thought. My Mamiya ground glass (matte with
grid lines but without split rangefinder) is really hard to focus with
in low light.
