Comments about Ee-D Grid-type Focusing Screen for Canon EOS 5D Digital Camera:
Don't be fooled by the advertising photo in the catalogue listings, the very fine but clear gridlines are totally unobtrusive in the viewfinder; like they aren't there yet crisp and distinctive when you need them.

Think how many time you didn't pay attention at your framing? (did you ever?)
Really great tool for making framing decisions right on spot.
Brightness wasn't an issue for me with my set up.

Comments about Ee-D Grid-type Focusing Screen for Canon EOS 5D Digital Camera:
This grid is essential. Whether I'm shooting people, scenics or architecture, the grid is a subtle but really helpful reminder to get those verticals square. The grid doesn't get in the way ever. If it's not needed its very easy to look thru it, yet its always available as a guide if needed. Not distracting at all. I've been a photographer for 30 years.

Comments about Ee-D Grid-type Focusing Screen for Canon EOS 5D Digital Camera:
I purchased this to help with landscape and architectural photography. After a short while I have been able to ignore the grid lines when I don't need to use them for alignment with the horizon. The best thing for my 5D is that I noticed that with this installed, my camera will auto focus much better than with the standard screen. I highly recommend this item.

Comments about Ee-D Grid-type Focusing Screen for Canon EOS 5D Digital Camera:
I use this product as my standard screen. The grid lines are extremely fine and can be overlooked if chosen but are invaluable to have -- especially when using ultra wide and wide angle lenses. It is also advatangeous when shooting landscapes.
The image is bright and sharp on the screen, as well.
