Earlier today I noticed there was a few specks of dirt/dust appearing when looking through the viewfinder of my 5D. So I took the lens off and while looking into the viewfinder I saw that there were several scratches across the focusing screen which is not visible when a lens is attached.
That being said I'm fairly certain that these scratches will not affect the image quality so I'm not in a rush to replace it right now. Although, I am just curious to know if Canon has stopped production on the Canon Eg-D Precision Matte Focusing Screen with Grid? If it's like the VF Grid Display on the 7D this would be something nice to have around. |

Thanks for that PDF. I was curious about the installation and it seems simple enough to do.
Yeah, I've been looking at that EG-D Focusing Screen in particular, but it's pretty much out of stock everywhere, including directly from Canon's store. Hopefully BH will get some in stock early next year. |

I have them in both my 5D and my 5D2. Installation is a snap. I have a hard time living without a grid in the viewfinder. |

Are the grids difficult to make out in low light situations? |

Depends what you mean by "low light": at night, sure they are. In dim lighting situations I can see the grid fine, though. |

Awesome. Looks like I'll be picking this one up instead of the stock replacement. Thanks. |
