In my book, Bill Maxwell Hi-Lux brightening of the EeS or EgS is the Cadillac (or should I say Lexus) of focusing screens, as it is nearly as bright as the EgA while maintaining the contrast qualities of the EeS. He has, however, raised his prices through the years, and it is now fairly expensive to get done (like the price of a cheap Contax lens). I am expecting one any day now, as my EeS version got lost in a Canon Repair error.
What I'm not sure of is whether the microadjustment is recorded solely in the camera, or whether some info is transferred to the chip on the lens. And further, is it possible to microadjust the AF confirm light for the manual lenses, if they are not up to snuff? And is it necessary to have that Russian chip to do that, or is that Russian chip merely good for changing the Exif data on the lens, which, while handy, is not essential?
If you can't microadjust the AF confirm light calibration relative to each chipped alt lens/adapter combo, and if you are getting front or back focus with the AF confirm light, then shimming is necessary. If otherwise, shimming is not needed. Anyone know the answer to that, whether microadjust affects the AF confirm with chipped alt adapters?
