Recently I got a good deal and bought a set of used Zeiss primes (classic 21/2.8, 28/2, 50/2, 100/2 and 135/2).
Manual focusing these lenses with my Canon 1DXII and 5DIV is doable, but is a hassle. The 1DXII is quite a bit better than the 5DIV, because of its larger viewfinder.
A week ago I added the 6D and installed an EG-S focusing screen. I have been enjoying the 6D and the Zeiss primes a lot these last days. I love being able to see whats in focus, and to visualize the true bokeh at f2. Especially for close up shots of stationary subjects, the 6D combo is much nicer to use than my 1DXII, and that says a lot.
Since I have fallen in love with the 6D and the EG-S focusing screen, I have started to consider trying out a Canon 1DSIII and install an EC-S focusing screen in it. I would expect that the larger viewfinder (0,76X vs 0,71X) should make a noticeable difference.
Has anyone in here any experience with the EC-S focusing screen in a 1D-series full frame body, and preferably, can you give any input on how it compares to a 6D and the EG-S focusing screen?
