Hi guys, really hope this is the place to write about this..

Backstory:
I own a 5D classic. Only a 50 1.8 for now, the intention is to buy some samyang lens.
I had the 85 1.4 and the 35 1.4 some time ago ( paired with a 5dmk2 ), but due to some personal problems i had to put the passion on hold and to sell the equipment

I have beer trying to get another focusing screen for the 5dC. I would prefer the EE-S ( super precision canon made ), but i am contemplating the haoda or some e-bay thing.

I tried to order one ( EE-S ) from canon europe, only to have them put me on backorder for the last 3 weeks. due to the fact that i live in eastern Europe ( Romania to be more exact ), canon store does not ship here. Found a friend in the UK to order there.

Tried to order from bhphoto, adorama and amazon, they ship to Romania, but the transport costs were ~ 100$.. for a 30$ SMALL piece of plastic ..

Haoda is the same .. 80Euro for the transport ..

I would prefer not to e-bay, as my credit card does not work with paypal and i have to create a new bank account + card for this 30$ plastic thing ..

Question:

Do you guys know a store, in UK or europe, that has or can get EE-S and can deliver to the UK or Romania ? And this without the 3x transport price. I know this is a long shot but i`ve ran out of options.

If i can`t find anything, i`ll make a new bank account + card, but i find this a little too much for a focusing screen.

I wasn't clear from your post, but did you also try Amazon UK?
