Fitting a Maxwell screen on a Chamonix 045N-01

I know there's been some discussion on the problem of fitting a Maxwell screen on a Chamonix and the problem that the retaining clips won't accommodate the new, cover glass. Should anyone be interested, I've posted a blog entry on my website outlining in detail, how I adjusted my retaining clips so the Maxwell screen fits perfectly. You can read it here:http://www.peaklandscapes.com/blog.php

I have to say the Maxwell screen has transformed the camera, it's soooo much brighter. I'm considering getting an even brighter HI-LUX Ultra Brilliant Matte 4.7 allowing me to move the regular Hi-Lux to my Wista.

I'd like to thank David Evans for selling me the screen through the forum :o
