Best digital for M42

Hallo!
Canon EOS 1D - crop 1,3 - what is with the fokuscontroll?

Is the system able to give green light, if the center is sharp, like pentax?

regards Peter

Is it possible to take another diffusing screen with splitt picture instead of this chips?

It isn´t my way to buy this canon for using old lenses, but I have so much and I would test some lens on the D1

The motivation to buy this old ferrari is the ability to make sport pictures by using the full AF - funktions.

Thank you for answer

regards Peter

Peter, it should be possible to change the screens in an old 1D.
You can get screen from several companies. Just start a search here...

Yes, I think Canon sell "official" optional focussing screens for the 1D, like Orio has for the 5D. These will probably be a lot better than the cheap third party screens we use on the 350D and 400D.

I use a cheap split image screen on the 400D, but the AF-confirm chip is much more accurate.

Hallo!

Last Info:

Katzeye has some focusing screen, but I can´t find the D1. Canon doesn´t produce this screens.

regards Peter
