[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 565842, member: 3903"] If you can clearly see the lines in the viewfinder, then you probably don't need extra eye piece. But the focusing screen has to go if you want to consistently focus using manual focusing. Now there is not only the install that has to be done, but also the calibration. You have to put your camera on a tripod, focus using the screen and then focus using magnification in Live View and compare the shots. The problem arises when the new focusing screen is not the exact same thickness as the original one. Usually the new screen will come with shims that have to be inserted above the focusing screen until the manual focus matches the Live View focus. A little time and patience is all it takes, and it really works. [/QUOTE]
