Will an EOS 6xx accept split circle focusing screen?

I've read somewhere that you can change screens in EOS 650, but I want to check.

I have a question, when you put one of these screens in do you lose your other focus points? If your camera,say a D60 has three focus points or 1V has 45 points, do you lose these and the AF only uses the center spot?

Don't mean to hijack your thread,but i wonder the usefulness of these screens if you lose your focus points.

no, the focusing point is still available.

you dont' lose the focus points, but prism screens can interfer with metering... especially spot/partial I think.

*don't know for sure, never had one. :)

This is the Canon EOS Digital SLR forum. What kind of camera is EOS 6xx?

I dunno... it's not terribly off topic. Up intil a week ago we were discussing tripods and heads in this section.

Could you point me to a better place to ask this question?

It depends on what type of camera it is. If you ask nicely, one of the moderators will have a good idea and move it there.

650 is a film body, SLR. A pretty nice one too. I think the EOS 5 replaced the 650.
