I read something >that the surround on the universal focusing screen is small prisms - not >ground glass?? Dick: The ground glass is not microprisms, but exactly what it says. Ground glass (or rather, ground plastic). I replaced my "universal" screen in my R5 with the "Uniform Ground Glass Screen with Grid Divisions". As easy to focus on as the standard Universal screen, the microprisms don't darken with long lenses and the rather unobtrusive grid lines are *really* handy for composing shots. BTW: Anybody on the list have a "Uniform G/G screen with Grids" that fits my newly acquired R6 for sale? Cheap? If so, please email me privately.
