MF Focusing Screen for 5D

alvyalvy · 21st August 2008

Hi, anyone with experience with using MF focusing screen for 5D? I gather that there is only this EE-S matte MF focusing screen for fast lens. What about 3rd party? Visited OP last weekend, and they were telling me that they can customise a split focusing screen used by 1D to fit and work correctly with the 5D? Any experience with this?I've express interest in the customised focus screen and they will be acquiring one for me within a couple of weeks.

as i know , the screen will be very dark if u change ur aperture into a small value like 8 or 16, the smaller the aperture is the darker the screen will be, its very hard to see from the screen clearly.

and 5D's screen is modified not just change another new screen, so, that means if u regret about changing it, u have to buy a new screen for ur 5D.
