Does any body know where to find metal shims to use with full frame focusing screens (5D in particular)?
Ebay search did not seem to bring up anything for me.

Why don't you try first with fine strips of transparent tape ? That's what is usually recommended. |

Some folks have had some difficulty in tracking down focus screen shims from Canon. One reason they're hard to google is that Canon refers to them as "washers". There are eleven different shims, which vary in thickness. They do not come in a set; they must be purchased individually. Luckily, they're inexpensive (~$22 USD for all). I spoke directly to a Canon parts department rep yesterday and here are the part numbers (note that these are for the 5D...I neglected to ask if they were applicable to any other body). My guess is that the part number suffix pertains to the thickness of the washer in mils (again, in my state of glee that I found these things, I didn't ask that either):
CB3-2850-000-003
CB3-2850-000-005
CB3-2850-000-008
CB3-2850-000-010
CB3-2850-000-012
CB3-2850-000-015
CB3-2850-000-018
CB3-2850-000-020
CB3-2850-000-025
CB3-2850-000-028
CB3-2850-000-030
Also, if anyone needs the direct line phone number to the Canon Parts Department, here it is: 732-521-7230 |

Someone on this list must have them or be able to get them. http://tinyurl.com/canon-camera-service-italy I doubt that Canon will sell direct.
