Canon CPN - Changing the focus screen EOS 40D, 50D, 5D and 1D series

[georgecain123]

ok, question; my 5D mk ii came with a EG-A screen; circle in middle and focus points; I bought the canon EG-S screen; I installed it; it looks exactly the same; circle with focus points. I think I got ripped off. and No, I didn't mix them up.... isn't the S screen supposed to look much different than the A screen??? and I did change the setting for which screen was being used in the function menu. Help???

Excellent, simple instruction. Great video.

Super precision Matte would be the screen to use if one were using M42 manual focus lenses on the camera?

[teletizzle]

Thanks for the tip. Just took out mine to clean it, and it worked perfectly!

hi does it work with canon 5D?

somebody ask me thnaks

[LeoInterHyenaem]

Thanks. That's the basics. What about aligning the screen properly? The so-called washers appear useless, because they won't help aligning the focus circle of the FocusingScreen Ec-A for 5D II. As a result, the focus of my 5D II fitted with the focusing screen in question is quite a bit (!) off now…

I don't understand why canon doesn't offer transmissive LCD for this focusing screens like Nikon.

I mean Canon did that in the 7D then why not in the 1D mark 4 or the old 5D mark 2.

Transmissive LCD focusing screens are way more convenient than this method.

Hope the 5D mark3 has this

hi does anybody know if using dish washing detergent as cleaning solution is okay on the SUPERIMPOSE INDICATOR PLATE? because thats what is used because i had sticky tape residue on it and cant be removed by water or air blower. when i cleaned it with dish washer detergent ( i did it very very very gently), the residue was about 85% gone. there was no scratch on the plate. So i assume that SI plate isnt really as sensitive to scratch that easily?????

But when would you want to do this?

[HelloNewYorkCity]

[ChristopherKblog]

Not supported in this way!

[hayataultraman]

I used your video to change the focusing Screen Ef "D" from my Canon 50D. Very useful. Thank you!

[Flurinamsler]

NIce video!

[ChristopherKblog]

Well, hear the answer in the video. Grid for architecture and super precision for macro.

[toad2039]

but its not like the original waste or deteriorate?

[ChristopherKblog]

It's coming from canon. There are no differences in quality. Solely superprecision screen is darker thats it.

Would be nice if the SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON was as easily replaceable.

Canon make too much shoddy gear!

[AdrenalinXI]

Nice! If only my 30D had this option :(

[sfprometheus]

It sort of does
