The Maxwell screen is very good, but does not deserve
all the public adulation in my opinion.  For example
the GX screen is brighter and also much easier to focus 
with.  So is the Hasselblad Acumat D screen, or for
that matter, the Mamiya RZ standard screen.

Personally, I think the Maxwell screen, while very good,
is quite pricey.  I have it on a Rolleicord V, but decided
it's not worth it fot my 2.8F.  I am looking into buying
a Mamiya screen and have it cut down to fit.

I suppose these matters are quite subjective.
