Changing the focussing screen can be a bit dodgy for the clumsy fingers person. Not like the old Canon F1n camera where you had a choice with many screens. Just clip in or out.

Well, but it is also not rocket science ...
I changed the screen of my 5D(1) recently, and found it is much
easier than it was on the 300D (which was not really intended to
have the screen changed). I just followed the instructions that came
with the new screen and did the change within 5 minutes.
Just my 2cts ... Rainer

Exactly. And even on the 40D/50D it is a doddle.
Do it twice, and it'll take you more time to open the focusing screen container than actually changing the focusing screen...
Kind regards, Wim
