Canon 5dmk2 EG-S Focusing Screen Review
I recently bought the EG-S Super Precision Matte Focusing Screen for my 5dmk2. I love to shoot wide open on my lenses, and currently I own all primes that come in lower than recommended f/stop range for this screen. The 50mm f/1.4 and the 85L f/1.2 MK2. If this is your first time hearing of this focusing screen I will go through a brief description of it below.
What is the EG-S screen?
(as Ken Rockwell explains)
These precision surfaces simulate ground glass and greatly increase brightness for f/2.8 and slower zoom lenses so popular today. They are designed to be bright and contrasty with these slow lenses.
Oddly, these modern screens get no brighter when you're using a lens faster than f/2.8. Try it: put on an f/1.8 or other fast fixed lens and flick the depth of field button. You'll see no change in anything until you stop down to about f/2.5!

Welcome Everyone!
Welcome to my new blog!
My name is Ryan O. Hicks and I am a creative graphic designer and photographer based out of West Lafayette, Indiana.
This blog will be a source of inspiration for some, a source of tutorials, a place for designers to gather and exchange information, and a place for photographers to explore different ideas and techniques. I will do my best to keep this blog updated as my time allows. If this expands beyond my control I will look to the community for support in putting a staff together to run the site for me when I can not be of service.
I'm currently still getting all my quirks worked out on this blog, so if something does not work or does not seem right do not fret I will get it fixed ASAP. However if you see something and I am not getting it fixed or it bugs you feel free to drop the admin an e-mail about the problem.
Please feel free to subscribe to our feed to stay updated about what is going on.
Thanks.
