changing the focusing screen on a Canon EOS 1D mk2 N
I just need to drop it out/down to blow dust off of it

take off your lens and look inside the chamber. on the top you will see a very small metal tab. if you push that tab, the screen will just fall off. take exactly 3 secs :)

oh forgot to mention that you really don't want to do ANYTHING to the screen other than blowing on it with the rocket blower. it is a very sensitive part and if you scratch it, you will need to buy a new one..
