Hi. Does anyone know anything about focusing screens for the EOS 3? I am after a good one for manual focusing, but no shops keep them in stock, and they won't order them in unless I buy the ones I want to try...welcome to Australia.

ANY information would be appreciated...Thanks in advance.

The focusing screens are the same ones** that can be used on the EOS 1, EOS 1N, EOA 1NRS, and EOS 1V.

** there are some specific to certain models, but are technically interchangeable anyway. The ones helpful for manual focusing are a absolutely identical:

• Ec-A (microprism)
• Ec-B (new split)
• Ec-I (double cross-hair recticle)
• Ec-L (cross-split image)
