Product Description

Similar to standard Ee-A screen for EOS 5D, but with horizontal and vertical lines for precise subject placement or alignment. Overall matte surface gives viewing and focusing very simlar to standard Ee-A screen. EOS 5D must be set to Custom Function 00-1 for accurate exposure metering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Canon Focusing Screen Ee-D a Must Have, November 4, 2006

If you're using any of Canon's "pro" SLR models that allow you to change the focusing screen (EOS 5D, 1Ds, etc.), this is a must buy. The focusing screen segments the view you see through the viewfinder into three horizontal and three vertical areas. This is really great to help you align things in a straight line or if you're following the rule of thirds.

In addition to the vertical and horizontal lines you see, you can still see the focusing points. This is a great upgrade that I would recommend for anybody, but especially for nature photographers where the rule of thirds is really the tried and true method of photography.

I have used grid screens for many years (35yrs on staff at major newspaper) in all my camera bodies. It just makes life easier by helping my composition, and keeping my vertical & horizontal lines correct. Try it, you'll love it.

I do fine art landscape photography having sold over 1500 framed pictures.
Many many years ago I had a point and shoot with the guide lines on the view finder and saw the value of having them. When I got my first DSLR I missed having them. When I got my Canon 5D and saw this screen was available I immediately got it and wish it was included with all cameras from the factory. I would change the focusing screen on any camera I ever purchase if they don't include a screen with the guide lines. The guide lines are not so large and obtrusive to be a bother, but are there to aid in keeping my camera level. By one of these and after using it for a time I am sure you will see the value.
