Product Description

the Ee-S Super Precision focusing screen is designed to facilitate manual focusing with high-speed lenses (f/2.8 or faster). The Ee-S screen has finer microlenses than the Ee-A or Ee-D options, along with a steeper parabola of focus to make the image pop in and out of focus more vividly in the viewfinder; however, the Ee-S focusing screen is not recommended for slower lenses because it's not very bright

I shoot a 5D with prime lenses, but in low light, the autofocus often struggles. I never felt too confident in my manual focusing, so I figured this screen might help. And man, does it ever! The field of sharpness is very narrow, so as you turn the focus ring, thing will pop in and out of focus more precisely. I did a quick test - standing next to a light switch, manual focus on things in a darkened room, then turn on the light and let AF give it a shot - each time I was either spot on or very close! I'm giving it four stars because I think this screen should come standard with the camera, not be a $35 add-on.

The Ee-S screen makes all the difference in the world when doing manual focus work. It is also a snap to install, and only took about 15 seconds.

Very precise.5
It is true what you have read about the screen being darker, it is much darker than I thought it would be though. It is not a problem on a 50mm f/1.4 or a 28mm f/1.8, but I was surprised to see how dark it is on a 100mm macro f/2.8. They say the screen is for "2.8 lenses or faster" but I think it would be appropriate for f/2.0 or faster. I have two f/4.0 lenses, the 70-200 and the 17-40, both are very dark but are easily used in the day time. If you begin to loose light the view finder becomes very dark, especially with a ND filter or circular polarizer.

This screen works perfectly for what it is designed for, Enhanced manual focus control. I would recommend this screen with a very fast lens-f/2.0 or brighter.
