[LRflex] Re: Eyepiece magnifier (now also KatzEye screen)

Dave -

I kinda hate to bring this one up again, but I'll just come out and  
ask...

How does the KatzEye screen compare to the original Canon's in terms  
of exposure accuracy in stop-down mode at apertures beyond f8?  (Some  
may recall that sometime back we finally had Chuck Westphall from  
Canon explain that the 20D tends to overexpose under these  
conditions, and that it's a function of screen design.)

Also, am I correct in assuming that if the Nikon mag fits the Rebel  
it will also fit the 20D?
