There's a choice of split image screens for the EOS3. If you install any of them, you will lose evaluative (and centre spot) metering because the split-image prisms upset the metering patterns. (You should also change CF0 from 0 to 1 to compensate.) Using my Nikon FG with its standard split image screen and a 50 f2 Nikkor (at 8-10�C), I can distinguish between objects 250m away and those at infinity. The standard hyperfocal distance for the above combination is ~ 42m, so the FG is doing very well.
