Ef Focus Screens are available for EOS 40D, 50D and 60D EOS 60D: On-Camera Tutorials Canon On-Camera Tutorial Videos explore a specific feature or technology of the EOS 60D
Battery Grip, they are available for pretty much every DSLR out there. Make sure you buy the right one. There are those that even can take AA batteries. Others only take the batteries as supplied for said model. Not only does it gives more "juice" it also makes the camera a bit more square so heavier lenses are easier to handle. And.. Portraits are much easier ;) Worth the money? If you do allot of portrait style shooting definitely yes.
50D for some reason was considered more 'pro' than 60D is now (because of the magnesium body, etc). Since the 60D has dropped in it's rank to just above the rebel series, this is true that it's the only camera to offer this.
I too didn't know that focussing screens existed..... i think no need fo some screen to got beautiful shots , now i know thanks for the information good luck
Going to order the grid. I'm used to my D90's grid and assumed the 60 would have a framing grid. Ah well. The grid screen is $30 or so online and it looks easy to replace. I didn't realize the 60 didn't have the same focusing screen as the 50D or the 7D.
The focusing screen, as far as I know, only helps us see when the image is focused, which is essential for manual focusing but also for af. If you remove it, I believe the image in the viewfinder won't look focused.
Indeed, it's EF, not EF-S. My bad. I know that the 50mm is my fastest lens, but someone else was arguing that saying "f/2.8 or faster" is wrong and was lecturing me when I said it's a very common expression in photography.
I have a 5d mark II, the 2nd day, I tried putting on an ef-s 18-55 kit les from 550d. The focusing screen fell out. My heart sank, my body went cold, as I thought it had been the sensor..The trademark and main reason for the purchase..after 5 minutes of grievance, I googled if this happened before with other users. With quick but thorough research, I had found that it was not the sensor, but instead an inexpensive replaceable focus screen. I popped it back in place, and it's back to new again.
You said that it Can only be used with wide aperture lenses. f2.8 or FASTER. Can you measure an Aperture using a SPEED meter? I think you mean f2.8 or WIDER.
I have the EF-S screen in my 40D. But i not often focus manual. I shoot on conzerts, events, planes, nature and other stuff. i like the grid Focus screen but i dosnt shoot architekture. I am guy who shoot details. Whitch one is the best for me?
hello i've been trying to find the Ef-A model for ma EOS 60D, but not even in Canon i can find it, in BH Photo Video, they say they have it for eos 40D and 50 D but nor for the 60D, can some body help me to find a place where i can buy the right one.
Such a perfect voice. Clear with a gifted sense to educate people - inflection, tone, rhythm in harmony.
This is a much better tutorial than the other screen replacement videos I've watched.
i just watched every episode in just under an hour. Now i feel like i graduated Canon 60d school :D
I too didn't know that focussing screens existed. Thanks for this very clear and concise explanation. Keep up the good work!
I didn't even know focusing screens existed. Thank you very much.
At last! A perfect no-nonsense explanation. Great!

The lower the aperture number, the 'faster' the lens.
Your fastest lens is your 50mm f/1.8 (not an EF-S by the way).
Superb video, simple, high quality, easy to understand.
@arch3rkid0 The 7D has this built in. It has a transmissive LCD. It's one of the reasons it's more expensive. Enjoy it. I love using mine.

Good technical video but not quite right.
The EOS 40D and 50D can also use the optional focus screens.
Search about aperture on wikiedia, in section "in photography".You have your answer there
around 40 usd
well there you go, learn something new everyday
Superb video. Thank you

Thanks Kermit
@thure1982 Nope. Neither the 600D nor the 7D has this option.
Never heard about that, I was looking for 60D issues.. lol
"Faster" because it lets more light in and so the "film" is exposed more quickly.
thanks for showing this.does the focusing screens come as standard with this special tool.
The 60D does not have a transmissive LCD like the 7D. That sucks. Glad I have a 7D
Oddly enough the 7D does not officially support different focusing screens :(
You said that it Can only be used with wide aperture lenses. f2.8 or FASTER. Can you measure an Aperture using a SPEED meter? I think you mean f2.8 or WIDER.
You have to use f2.8 or faster lenses with the EF-S screen. Why is that?
How strong is the decrease in light that an Ef-S focussing screen will cause in the viewfinder?
I have the EF-S screen in my 40D. But i not often focus manual. I shoot on conzerts, events, planes, nature and other stuff. i like the grid Focus screen but i dosnt shoot architekture. I am guy who shoot details. Whitch one is the best for me?
@aluxious i opened up my 7d and there is no tab to pull, but it may be different.
Is the eos EF-a the standered screen that comes with the camera? Or is it another screen so is there 4 total focus screens for this camera?
pershy-ate it
how do I do this on a 7D? Can't find a tutorial anywhere and I can't send mine off, I need it for work..

Just a question: What focusing screen is inside my 60D by default? The ef-A (I presume)?

Is there a focus screen for the 70D? My focus screen is pretty scratched up

Yes, search for "Canon Ef-A".
"The only camera in it's class to offer this professional capability" ?
Even my old 50D has the ability to change the focus screen...
does the EF-D work with canon 7D?
How much are Focus Screens from Canon?
