Comments about Canon Canon Focusing Screen Ee-S (Overall Matte) for EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera:
Changing the screen out wasn't difficult, just read the instructions carefully. I was expecting a larger improvement, but the modest gain was welcome. It works very well with my 85/1.8 and 70-200/2.8. The 24-105/4 is distinctly darker, but still usable with this screen. It is tough to use the LensBaby at lower settings (f/5.6 and f/8) because the screen is so dark. But it can be done, and I use the faster lenses much more.
Remember to change the camera custom function for the focus screen, or the light meter will read wrong.

Comments about Canon Canon Focusing Screen Ee-S (Overall Matte) for EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera:
Very easy to install and it makes it so much clearer where the focus is. Also gives a better idea about the DOF. It even works fine with my f/4 lens. I doubt I will ever swap in the standard again.

Comments about Canon Canon Focusing Screen Ee-S (Overall Matte) for EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera:
This screen works great - much easier to confirm visual focus or manual focus. The warnings are true though, you need faster maximum apertures to use this screen.

Comments about Canon Canon Focusing Screen Ee-S (Overall Matte) for EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera:
I just put this in my 5d and testing with an 85 1.8 shows it is very easy to confirm exact focus, something that was not true with the standard screen. Very easy to change out and a huge improvement for very little money. I have not tried any slower lenses yet to see how that is but I also don't own any and am not planning on buying them. I truly appreciate that I can now control where I put the focus point with precision and confidence, despite poor vision and glasses. Highly recommended!
