Unused (I bought it to fit a Chamonix 45-1n in July this year, then realised the Chamonix fresnel fit is shorter than 5").
I bought and imported the screen in July this year, unwrapped and tried it on the Chamonix, realised it didn't fit, and then packaged it up again, so has not been used.
Complete with instructions and protective glass.The screen is without grid lines or roll film format lines - it's plain.
Cost new was $295 plus $42 shipping costs, and of course the import duty and VAT which came to about £35. So ended up costing around £250.
For sale here for £195 plus postage.

Using a ruler (not a digital measuring device!) the actual measurements are:
The screen 126mm x 100mm with corners cut out. P
The protective glass also 126mm x 100mm but with corners intact.
PLEASE NOTE ORIGINALLY I POSTED MEASUREMENT AS 126MM X 120MM - THE SHORTER LENGTH WAS ENTERED IN ERROR and thankfully someone was kind enough to tell me!).
The only other thing I would say is that I have been measuring whilst being careful not to touch any part of the screen. On re-measuring it is possible the long length is a minute bit longer than 126mm, but if it is it is no longer than 127mm.

Thanks.

Just a quick question David... did you eventually buy another screen for your Chamonix? It's just that I too own the Chamonix and have been thinking of buying a brighter screen.
