p.1 #1 · Focus Screen for 1dsMKII

Is it possible to use a screen that was used on 5D for 1DsMkII?
I have a wonderful "Hi-Lux" screen that I was using with 5D, and want to know if it can be used on 1DsMkII. (be it even if modification is needed)
Has anyone tried this before?

No

The EC-cS (or whatever the hell it's called) high precision screen is ok on the 1 series, but not as useful as the Ee-S for the 5D. My fave so far for the 1Ds2 is the Ec-CIV that ships with the 1D/S/3. Pops right in, no issues.

I have the EC-B on my 1Ds original. Works like a charm and costed only $40.

I would recommend the EC-A over the EC-B because the microprism can be used on much more varied subjects than the split prism. That's what I use on the 1Ds2 and I get more accurate focus than with AF lenses.
