I know there are at least two options. The one I have is custom made  
by a fellow called Haoda Fu (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ 
screen4DSLR/). The other is from Brightscreen (www.brightscreen.com).

There are extensive discussions about both of them on the  
"alternative lens systems on digital" at Fred Miranda's site. This  
has become a large knowledgebase on manual focus lenses (especially  
Zeiss and Leica) used on Canon DSLR's.

I have used it for the past three months with a real improvement in  
manual focus accuracy.

Best,
Ed


PS:
I have no connections to HAoda Fu. Even if I know that he gives a  
partial refund to almost anyone who helps with his screens diffusion  
on photography forums (it is said on those same forums), I am cheap  
and have bought mine used, from a friend who upgraded from his 20d to  
a 1d Mk II.

 From whom was the replacement screen for 20D, Eduardo?

Thanks,
B.
