I use the Ee-D screen (with grid). Contrary to the descriptions of this screen all over the net, it is not just an Ee-A with grid, but almost as contrasty as the Ee-S, ie well suited for manual focusing. Since the grid of the Ee-D helps me a lot while being still contrasty enough for manual focusing, it\'s my favorite over the Ee-S.
((If one is not sure about the difference in contrast (or brightness, rsp.) between the three screens named above, there is an easy test: Just take three pictures (identical scene and light) in A-mode with the same screen (whichever you want/have), one picture for each of the three screen custom settings (#00, were the 5D corrects for screen brightness), and compare the resulting three histograms! The Ee-D result is much closer to the result with Ee-S setting than to that of the standard Ee-A setting.))
