5D focusing screen options - 06-20-2007, 11:06 AM


Now that I have a 5D, I've been wondering about focusing screen options. There are four listed (excluding the standard screen) at B&H. Do you use anything other than the standard screen?

Thanks, John. Lots of choices, and I see a couple that I could probably use there.
