p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · 5D Classic: Disadvantages of using Ee-S Focusing Screen with Autofocus? | |
Thank you for the detailed reply rscheffler. While perusing the web on this topic for quite some time, I've found little hints here and there of everything you've mentioned, but nothing was concrete. Appreciate it very much.
I would say the minimum aperture I usually shoot at is about 2.8, so looks like I'll be okay afterall, I guess better than okay actually. I do prefer to see a more accurate depth of field in the viewfinder, so am looking forward to that.
So it seems then that whatever it was that I read five years ago regarding the right focusing screen for fast primes was actually correct. I just wish Canon was more clear on that in their documentation.
Sucks that I don't have a spare Ee-S focusing screen, as now I'm a bit paranoid about bi-mistakenly damaging that one too, since they appear to be unobtanium.
I'm going to wait to get the camera properly cleaned out before I install it, as I seem to have a decent amount of dust build up on the mirror, focusing screen area, superimposed plate, and possibly the prism. My sensor and shutter area are rather clean in contrast, which seems odd. I don't want the dust/debris that is already in there possibly marking up the new Ee-S focusing screen.
I now know how fragile these damn focusing screens are. I guess patience is a virtue. Live and learn.
