You're right for the EOS-1V and EOS-3 at least. Is this true for all EOS bodies? The split or microprism screens don't have the "oval", I'm not sure that matters or not. Do you know if these "focusing aids" effect the metering at all, and are the screens with "focusing aids" they same brightness as the stock EOS-1V screen? If there's no detriment to changing the screen (though the EOS-1V brochure doesn't show a split with a microprism collar, which is my choice manual focus screen) then perhaps I'll try a different screen and see if it helps with manual focus. But, I must admit, the autofocus on the EOS-1V has been superb so far.
