Sometimes I need to use manual focus on my Canon 400D, but MF is (for me) extremely difficult. Is there some way how to enlarge the picture in the viewfinder? Angle Finder is probabely one option, but it is very clumsy if I want to do normal "straight" shoots.

Any idea is apreciated

Actually, I don't think you would find an angle finder to be inconvenient. Looking down into the viewfinder is different, but not at all uncomfortable. Unless, of course, the somewhat lower camera angle is problematic.
Keep in mind that any device that magnifies the view will also restrict you to viewing the center of the viewfinder, so you will lose your sense of framing. For landscape, that's OK, as long as you can switch between the magnified and unmagnified view. An angle finder will let you do so, but you must re-focus it each time, which is a little bit of a pain.

Changing focus screen may possibly help.
