p.1 #1 · Rebel focusing screen?

Hello alt rebel shooters, I'm thinking of getting a T1i or XSi to use with my little Oly's for a light, compact travel kit. My main concern with the Rebel series is the small viewfinder and lack of manual focus screen. My question is: does anybody know of any manual focus screen modifications for the rebel? Or maybe I'm just too worried about it and it's not that bad. Let me know.

Thanks, Dan

Have you checked katzeye? I think they have one for xsi/t1i.

I believe if you check E-bay you'll find a number of Chinese vendors selling MF screens for the Rebels. All of them (katzeye included I believe) are taking MF screens for 35mm film cameras and machining them down to fit. I have a katzeye for my XTi and it is very nice but the Chinese ones are significantly cheaper and I think many people are happy with them.

I tried the ebay chinese screens for my 40D and 5D. Let's just say I ended up with the Canon Ef-S and Ee-S in the end. I also have used a Katzeye Optibrite (purchased on FM) for both a 350D and 20D. I feel the ebay generic ones are worse than the stock screen and were a complete waste of money. YMMV
