I have the EOS 3, and predominantly use the 28-135 IS USM lens and 550EX when I shoot weddings. Despite the fine autofocus of this setup, even in low light, I occasionally get a slightly out of focus photograph. I find the standard focusing screen of the EOS 3 to be absolutely no help whatsoever for manual focusing. I don't wear glasses and don't need to.

I would like advice please on which focusing screen to get so that I can manually focus without error every time. I like the idea of the split screens, BUT I don't want to lose the centre focusing point for the purposes of obtaining correct exposure (or maybe someone knows an exposure compensation guide for the split screens?).

Many thanks for any suggestions.
