Hi Alex, I can only say that *maybe* it was a bit darker. I don't think I could really tell the difference, to be honest, not in the brightness. But objects did have more pop when coming into focus. I liked it so much that I actually thought about trying to cut one down for one of my D60s, since the screens in there are pretty poor in terms of being able to tell how close you are to proper manual focus (I shoot birds most often, and the treebranches generally screw up AF...or it is just too slow for some birds). As a side note, I did some little tests with the CF-0, switching back and forth on the setting without changing the screen, and I could never get any changes in exposure due to the change in CF-0 setting. Does the setting change adjust exposure only for particular conditions (like spot metering with certain lenses or something like that)? It really doesn't matter, and I just left it where Canon says to, but I was just curious. I also figured that if the camera made no exposure adjustments, at least with the lenses and settings that I was using, that must have meant that the brightness of the two screens (stock and EC-D) was really not much different, probably something in the range of a tenth of a stop, which would be too little to register, generally, on the third stop metering display, but may be taken into account when it was doing auto exposure. Sorry, it has been a while, so I have forgotten the specifics of my quick and dirty "test". Anybody know of a good way to trim the EC-D to fit the D60?
