Focusing Screens

[brysons]

I can't find Canon "crop lines" series focusing screens for the EOS x0D range. I have, however, found a company called Katz Eye Optics which will produce focusing screens with any pattern you want on them and for just about any camera. They sound great, including a more traditional prism for manual focus. Does anyone have experience or knowledge of this company or another recommendation? Also, they have a special coating which will apparently enhance the brightness of the viewfinder in the matte area, which they call Opti-Bright. Does anyone have experience specifically with this treatment?

Here's a link to their 40/50D screen

Edit: I found a link on their site laying out the pros and cons of the Opti-Bright treatment:

I did find Garbz's review here http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/.../108875-katz-eye-focusing-screens-review.html
The search on this site is really bad with the 30-second wait...

Garbz has one - he'll be here shortly.

By all reports - they sound pretty good though.

If you search this forum -you might be able to find the review he wrote on them. The search function can be hard to use sometimes though...
