Hi, I have a Canon EOS-1 I picked up used recently (first foray into AF). It's working out great with a 50/1.4 prime lens and I'm very happy with it, apart from one thing: The AF sensor mark and the spot and partial metering circles on the viewfinder screen are incredibly difficult to see. They're nearly invisible unless viewing a very strongly lit, totally out of focus scene. Hi I had a similar problem with the T90. With the 50mm f1.4 lens the screen is so bright that it is hard to see the focus aid. Try a Microprism screen (Type A) or a Cross Split-image screen (Type L). You may be able to find these second-hand or as old stock. I just bought a brand new Type L for an EOS RT - found it simply by plodding around the shops. Regards, Ian. |
