So I sent my 5D MKII's to CPS for cleaning, calibration and to have the locking mode dial installed. They went to Canon with EG-S focusing screens installed, and they came back with the regular screens installed. Sucks.

I'm going to call on Monday and see what they can do, but just as an FYI to anyone else thinking of sending their cameras in. :confused:

Ridiculous, demand to talk to their manager if they can't resolve the issue

I had sent a 5D in for the mirror fix a few years ago. They put a new focus screen in it, but also sent the old one (original stock screen) back with the repaired camera.


Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.

I would not be ok with that. They need to send you a replacement screen.

Especially since they're pretty difficult to get these days.... and they're 40 bucks for a piece of plastic. :rolleyes:
