I agree. I have the same lens, but I have a Rebel XTi, which is not up to
the quality of view of your 5D. I would think getting the screens
brightened would be even better. Depending on your eyes, and mine are 57
years old.

Aram,
I'm really glad that you posted this solution today. It was timely for me as
I was about to send my Canon 5D's EE-x focus screens off to Maxwell to get
them brightened. Instead, I'll try the Nikon eyepiece. I love using the
35-70 R lens with that body, but it gets pretty dim to look through when I'm
indoors.

Hi Ed. I use the cheapest converter I could find with the focus
confirmation chip and it works as good as expected. If you plan on using
Leica lenses only, just leave it on the camera and mount and dismount your
leica lens from the converter. If you plan on mixing lenses, I would
recommend an adapter for each lens.
Also, you need to get the Nikon (yes, Nikon) DK-21M eyepiece magnifier. It
fits the EOS cameras and makes manual focusing much easier, which is helpful
even with the focus confirmation chip. A must have for under $25.
