5.0 out of 5 stars This should be the default focusing screen that is shipped with every 40D!, June 13, 2008
The usefulness of the grid lines on this focusing screen grows on me as I use it. This should really be the default focusing screen that Canon installs on every 40D since it is quite easy to ignore the grid lines within the viewfinder if you do not care to use them for reference. Note that the grid lines do not divide the viewfinder image exactly into thirds, if you were expecting some "rule of thirds" composition aid here.

The installation instructions are fairly clear; I switched the focusing screen in just a couple of minutes. After screen installation, remember to set the 40D to use the "Ef-D" Focusing Screen option: (1) From the Menu, go to the Custom Function Set IV (Fn IV : Operation/Others); (2) Select and set the (1 : Ef-D) option.

One thing that is not mentioned in the installation instructions is that the Canon-Europe Web site actually has a nice video how-to that describes how to replace the focusing screen: cpn.canon-europe.com\content\masterclass\eos_40d_focus_screen.do

5.0 out of 5 stars Trifocal wearer, March 25, 2008
By L. Paul Dufilho (Thibodaux, LA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Canon EF-D Focusing Screen for Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR Camera As one who wears trifocal eyeglasses I sometime have difficulty seeing that things are perpendicular and horizontal in the viewfinder (at least that's my excuse, age may be another factor). Before I switched to a Canon DSLR I used a Nikon 35mm and had several focusing screens that fit that camera. The one I found myself using the most often was the one with grid lines. When I learned that interchangeable focusing screens were an option with the EOS 40D, I decided to move up from the 20D.

I received the EF-D screen yesterday and installed it this morning in less than 5 minutes (It's sure a lot easier than my old Nikon.). The installation instructions are understandable and easy to follow. What I especially like is the size of the tweezers included in the installation kit. They are large enough that people with large hands will not feel like a clumsy fool trying to hold them and grasp the screen.

If you have trouble keeping objects aligned in the viewfinder this may be a feature you will enjoy having. I love it.

Happy Shooting...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent add-on for the 40D, February 21, 2008
This add-on focusing screen includes helpful grid lines that assist in lining up architectural and landscape photos in the viewfinder of the Canon EOS 40D. It was easy to install, and really has helped me improve my compositions.

I first learned about this screen from a book, Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography, which I consider a must-have "accessory." It has a good mixture of information about the 40D and setting all its options and Custom Functions, as well as chapters on how to use the 40D's features to achieve better photography.
