1DX - EC-CV Focus Screen

Hey everyone, I recently sent in my 1DX for warranty repair because it was having the "oil issue". They replaced the focus screen. I noticed it was replaced with the "EC-CV" focus screen. Reading online, it looks like this is meant for macro photography; is this correct? Is it going to cause problems for me? I don't shoot any macro. Also, they shipped it back to me with a filthy sensor and some hair/dust spot in the viewfinder. I was able to gently blow out some of them. Think I should contact them and send it back, or just live with it?

Cheers

EC-CV is the default focusing screen. At least according to this article from Canon -> http://www.learn.usa.c​anon.com …eable_focus_scr​eens.shtml

Id send it back and ask to have it cleaned.

Contact them . It is unacceptable to do work like that.

Thanks for the link. Every other site I've seen says something along the lines of "The EC-CV replaces the standard focus screen for the 1DX." I guess they're wrong.

As far as the dust/hair issue; I just sent them an email to have it cleaned. It's very frustrating, and quite ridiculous that they would send it back in this condition!

Cheers

sorry but what is the oil issue?

I couldn't agree more. Let us know how it turns out.

Where did you send it for service?

It was sent into Canon Canada (Mississauga center.) After using a rocket blower a couple more times on the focus screen, I've been able to remove most of the dust/hair. Just 2 small ones left that aren't bad. I've decided not to send it in. It's too much hassle, time and money (especially if I insure shipping.) I'll just clean the sensor myself. I did however send them another email explaining how dissatisfied I am with their service. Mofos

I have another question: during warranty repair, the "FP PCB Assembly" was replaced. What is this for?
