david_carson Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 <p>Hello, just doing a little research before I buy. If I install a Eg-S screen in a 5D mkII, will the 9 focusing points still show up black? I'm not sure if they are engraved in that focusing screen or if they are somehow projected. I actually wouldn't mind if they aren't there, as I only use the central one anyway.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrodgers Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 <p>They still show up. The screen has clear areas that are not etched to accomodate them I believe.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_f1 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 <p>I agree with Ed. I installed a split prism focus screen and it didn't have the focus point etched in it. However they are still in the view finder and work the same.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepeters Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 <p>The focus points are etched into the prism, not the screen. You do see them on the Eg-S. It is a great screen. I find it much preferable to use when using the fast L primes, the focus accuracy is much better.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
