   It's like looking through tinted glass, more or less.

   Why not make the screens removable,

   no problems with views in the winter.

   I add a skylight whenever possible to make up for the lost light.

   We've got translucent fiberglass for the roof of our screened deck, and it lets a lot of light in.

   Thanks for the quick replys.
   I saw the article in FHB that talks about using screen door panels between the post, but I'm having a hard time finding storm doors of the same size and style. Any one know of a mfg. of these.

   We used Monray Glasswalls: http://www.monray.com/gw.htmFairly expensive, and not the absolute best quality for that money, but they work well with minimal futzing in a lot of situations.

   Another option I like is wall to wall aluminum storms. I use 4' x 6'. 48 x 48 fixed over 48 x 24 single hung with screen,only 1 stud and trimers each side. That gets good air circulation and is useable 3 seasons. Also much lighter than all screen.

   A lot of screen manufacturers have come out with screens that allow more light to pass through and are much less noticeable.  I don't remember any names, but you might want to look into it.
