Jul 31, 2013 17:49 | #3 I take mine to one of the local camera stores and they take care of most of the repairs. That is where I usually start and then they advise me from there. Trever Canon 7D, 24-70 F2.8L ii, Sigma 10-20 1:4-5.6 DC HSM, and a bunch of other little stuff to make light sorta work. Deviant

TeamSpeed 01010100 01010011  More info | Jul 31, 2013 18:28 | #5 Definitely your focus screen, just turn the camera upside down, pull the carrier tab to release the screen holder, insert the screen back in (now of course you have to decide which way to orientate the screen, it only has 1 correct position), and push the carrier back up until it locks into place. Way less hassle and time than to take it to a shop. If you cannot figure it out, or mess it up somehow, then take it to a shop. Past Equipment | My Personal Gallery

joeseph "smells like turd"  More info | Jul 31, 2013 18:35 | #6 Just be very gentle with the screen - they damage/scratch fairly easily... some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

That ship might have already sailed, especially if it was tossed around inside between the mirror and carrier. I wouldn't be surprised if both the focus screen and mirror had marks.
